You Are the Key to Our Legislative Success - Sign Up to be a Contact Banker Today!

To be effective, the legislative process assumes that constituents make their views known to legislative representatives when a particular proposal affects their personal, social or economic interests. In many cases, however, this does not occur. To facilitate this process, the NBA Government Relations Committee established the NBA Contact Banker Program. 


If you are a friend of a state senator, belong to the same organization, have a banking relationship with or would like to get to know your state senator better, you are needed for the NBA’s Contact Banker Program. NBA Contact Bankers supplement the NBA’s lobby efforts by providing personal contact to state senators on specific legislative proposals that may help or hinder the banking industry. We believe that personal contacts with state senators, in many cases, are the difference between the success or failure of legislative proposals that concern the banking industry.

 

In addition, the annual 2023 NBA State Government Relations Forum on Jan. 26 is another opportunity to connect with your state senator. All state senators will be invited to have lunch with Forum attendees. This luncheon is the perfect opportunity to have one-on-one discussions with your current state senator regarding issues of interest to you and your bank. Register for the State Government Relations Forum here.
