MEMA Aftermarket Suppliers Announces DC Advocacy Event

MEMA Aftermarket Suppliers Announces DC Advocacy Event

The “fly-in event” will be focused on passing the REPAIR Act.

MEMA Aftermarket Suppliers is mobilizing its members for a fly-in event scheduled for Jan. 30-31, focused on passing the REPAIR Act. 

The REPAIR Act will ensure consumers can continue to choose independent repair shops and suppliers to service their vehicles. Early in 2024, U.S. House members will be considering the bill’s passage.

“It is a pivotal moment in our industry’s collective effort on this issue this year,” the association said in a news release. “Every legislative meeting held during this timeframe will be critically important.” 

MEMA encourages senior executives, corporate leaders and technical experts from MEMA member companies to attend. Participants will engage in meetings with their members of Congress, receive comprehensive issue briefings from MEMA’s public affairs team and network with colleagues across the industry.

MEMA Aftermarket Suppliers will provide personalized schedules, materials and guidance for each meeting. 

“This is an opportunity to impact the legislative process at the most important time and champion the rights of the automotive aftermarket industry,” the association asserted.  

For more information, and to register, members should visit the event webpage. The registration deadline is Jan. 19.
