As the global authority in materials protection and performance, AMPP is set to host its annual Advocacy Day on May 15-16, 2024, in Washington, DC, USA.
This premier event marks a significant opportunity for professionals in the corrosion control and protective coatings industry to influence legislation and promote sustainable practices within critical infrastructure sectors.
2024 Legislative Agenda
This year’s AMPP Advocacy Day is particularly noteworthy, as it will spotlight the organization’s legislative agenda. This agenda focuses on advancing major U.S. legislation, including the Bridge Corrosion Prevention and Repair Act (H.R. 4064/S.1932) and the Freedom to Invest in Tomorrow's Workforce Act (H.R. 1477/S.722).
Additionally, AMPP will emphasize supporting the Department of Defense’s Office of Corrosion Policy and Oversight and the expansion of the Congressional Corrosion Prevention Caucus.
“Advocacy is the lifeblood of change in our industry,” said Alan Thomas, CEO of AMPP. “By bringing together our members and voices in DC, we transcend the conventional boundaries of our work. We’re not just advocating for the present; we are shaping the future of corrosion control and coatings protection, ensuring safer, longer-lasting infrastructure for generations.”
Benefits to Attendees
The event will attract diverse attendees, including industry veterans, policymakers, and emerging professionals, all united to drive progress in corrosion prevention.
Each year, AMPP Advocacy Day offers attendees specialized networking and knowledge exchange sessions. It also facilitates direct engagement with lawmakers while providing a platform for promoting international best practices in corrosion control.
