Please join us on March 6th for a lively cocktail reception at Bridgestreet, The Metropolitan at Reston Town Center for our annual Government Relations networking event. Director of Public Policy for the Global Business Travel Association, Shane Downey, will be joining us to share important updates of what’s hot on the hill. This is your opportunity to contribute to a valuable cause supporting the business travel industry.

Don’t miss the opportunity to win our PAC raffle prize - two domestic roundtrip air tickets (compliments of Delta Air Lines), a two night weekend stay with breakfast for two at one of the San Francisco downtown Kimpton Hotels and roundtrip limo service to IAD or DCA provided by Sunny's. The proceeds from this event will go to benefit the National Business Travel Association Political Action Committee (NBTA PAC), which is the federally recognized bipartisan Global Business Travel Association (GBTA) U.S. political action committee. 

Through NBTA PAC, GBTA members educate and finically support members of Congress who understand the value of business travel and support pro business travel interests.  As passionate industry professionals, attendance to this event shows continued support for the existence of this type of PAC in the political process.  Come raise awareness for a united voice in business travel advocacy, while enjoying a delightful evening among friends.
