We represent wholesalers before both federal and state legislators and regulators. Many officials do not have a clear understanding or appreciation of what you do so we work on your behalf so they know the important value you bring to the marketplace. We provide members with:
- A weekly state legislative report that outlines active legislation moving in every state and highlights trends we are seeing.
- Economic data, videos, one-pagers, and other resources to explain who you are, the impact you make and the value you provide.
- President and CEO's "Weekly Buzz" email, providing an overview of federal and state government affairs efforts, litigation updates, member offerings, noteworthy media hits, and more.
- Invitation to participate in WSWA’s annual Legislative Fly-In and Toast to Congress and to speak directly with lawmakers, attend briefings and share the industry’s position on how federal policies impact your businesses.
- Opportunity for WSWA to coordinate a scheduled tour of your local warehouse with legislators in your district, enabling them to see wholesaler operations firsthand and learn why wholesalers are so valuable.
- Opportunity to engage with WSWA-PAC which supports pro-wholesaler candidates across the country.
- Opportunity to join WSWA’s grassroots advocacy network, Project Twenty-One: An Alcohol Industry Alliance- a grassroots advocacy network to amplify wholesaler employee voices as a force multiplier across the country. Project 21 is on a mission to bring the 21st Amendment into the 21st Century and take action on issues impacting the wholesaler at the state, local and federal level.
- Access to FOCUS: A state legislative and regulatory tracking database of bills impacting wholesalers and weekly written reports authored by state tracking experts for members to utilize with complimentary access and training.
