Although they have served on the PIABA Legislation Committee for a number of years, they have worked together as co-Chairs for the past three years. Both served on the newly established Policy Committee this past year as well.
Leading Legislation is no small task. They helped draft and finalize the materials for distribution to the Hill, provide talking points to members, and worked with the Mid-Year Meeting Committee to provide training to members in preparation for their Hill visits, both in person and virtually. PIABA recognizes and offers its gratitude to Omar Bengali & Brent Burns for their efforts and work on behalf of PIABA members and investors. |
