motive recyclers and to remind them of the issues facing constituents. If you represent a state that has yet to attend these value-packed meetings, please think seriously about making 2016 the year you attend ARA Hill Day and Legislative Summit. We need your voice and we promise you that you won’t regret it! You have all heard the saying numerous times that “all politics are local” and it is indeed very true. As a constituent, it is you who has the real power in a face-to-face meeting to educate your Congressman and Senators on your issues, concerns, successes and challenges. Yes, your ARA staff works hard to open doors for our issues to be considered, but only you can walk through those doors and make the connections with your policymaker that deliver long-lasting results. It is your voice that provides the narrative for the professional automotive recycler’s story – a story that can only be told by you. So don’t delay. Register today, if you haven’t already, for this

value-packed set of meetings. Betsy Beckwith is a contributor to Automotive Recycling magazine.
