Register for GMA Spring Lobby Days

Now is the time to register for the 2025 GMA Spring Lobby Days taking place on June 4–6, 2025 in Washington, DC. Geosynthetic Materials Association (GMA) members will have the opportunity to meet with their congressional representatives, hear from invited guests and learn how the election will impact the work of Congress. Visitors are
welcome—contact Fred Chuck, GMA Executive Director at fred.chuck@textiles.org.

Members of Congress are now advocating for our industry, in large part, due to GMA’s consistent lobbying efforts along with the support and involvement of our members. Through these efforts we have been able to gain language in three critical infrastructure reauthorization bills, water resources, Highway FAST Act and the FAA. Now due to our bipartisan conversations, we have been asked to provide language for inclusion in the Surface Transportation Reauthorization that will need to be passed by this coming fall.

It is critical that GMA members continue to educate members of Congress about national issues affecting their company including the recent Build America, Buy American (BABA) guidance from the Office of Management & Budget (OMB), US DOT and FHWA. Good attendance will ensure that we can visit as many congressional offices as possible to further promote the benefits of geosynthetics and the inclusion of geosynthetics in the infrastructure funding.

The full schedule and registration information is available here.
