ELFA Educates State Leaders

NEAR THE END OF THE YEAR when state legislatures are in recess across the country, state legislators use this time to meet with constituents and attend annual legislative leadership meetings where they can listen to and share ideas with state leaders from other states and territories. ELFA has found this to be a perfect time to educate leaders on the issues most important to ELFA members. Below are photos from ELFA’s most recent trips to China and Puerto Rico, where we met with member companies and participated in the National Hispanic Caucus of State Legislators (NHCSL) and the Council of State Governments annual meetings.
