GREAT - Grass Roots Efforts Affect Travel

Grassroots politics – A political movement driven by the constituents of a community

Everyday, elected officials and their staffs make decisions that can affect you and your company. We need your help to ensure the business travel position is heard.

As a travel industry professional, you are uniquely qualified to educate your representatives on the challenges you face. The difference between a positive or a negative outcome is YOU!

By signing up for GREAT, you will be provided with letter templates, talking points and other information to necessary to contact your government representation, both locally and nationally, on these important issues.

GREAT - Grass Roots Efforts Affect Travel

Freedom of choice is a hallmark of our society:

  • You are free to vote for the candidate of your choice, or you can chose not to vote or get involved.
  • However, you don’t have a choice on whether government decisions affect your daily lives, because whether you like it or not -- they do!
