Things you can do today to help our industry:

PCMA, ASAE, MPI, IAEE, CIC, and U.S. Travel Join forces to bring a united industry voice to congress. Read more in ThisWeek@pcma and help this effort today! http://bit.ly/ImUqBt

Even more importantly than signing the petition is for those of you who are US citizens to write to your Senators and Representative and do so by MAIL not email – you’ll get far more attention. Do it NOW. -Joan
