Twin Cities District: An Update from a Divided Washington
Tuesday, September 10, 2019
Brooklyn Park, MN
EVENT DETAILS
A lot is going on in Washington, D.C. and it can be tough staying current on the latest legislative initiatives and policies. To keep you updated, PMA’s lobbyist, Omar Nashashibi, will join the Twin Cities District to discuss a wide range of topics affecting our industry and answer your questions about what is happening in Washington, D.C.
Speaker
Omar Nashashibi, Founding Partner, The Franklin Partnership, LLP
Omar S. Nashashibi is a founding partner with The Franklin Partnership, a bipartisan lobbying firm based in Washington, D.C. PMA retained Omar's firm to be the voice of the industry in Washington in 2002. Omar has 20 years of experience working with policymakers, politicians and the media. He lobbies the White House, members of Congress and government agencies who issue thousands of new laws and regulations each year. Before founding his own firm in 2005, Omar worked for the Office of Management and Budget, part of the White House, and a large multi-state law firm. Omar graduated from the George Washington University in Washington, D.C., where he studied Political Science and International Affairs.
Political Disruptions and Your Business: An Update from a Divided Washington
As the economy continues to grow with manufacturing doing well, political disruptions from Washington threaten much of the gains made in the past few years. A new front in trade wars seemingly opens each month, House Democrats threaten to roll back the 2017 tax cuts, and businesses cannot find qualified workers, due, in part, to Washington’s years of neglecting workforce training needs. This is your opportunity to hear directly from PMA's Washington, D.C. lobbyist, Omar S. Nashashibi, about the latest information on tariffs, trade negotiations, regulations and workforce training. The actions by our federal government have a direct impact on your business and recognizing the threats and opportunities created by politicians is critical. Especially with the 2020 race for the White House already underway, you don't want to miss hearing from a Washington insider without any spin about what really is happening in our nation's capital.
