Bring Advocacy Home: Host a Congressional Site Visit

Show policymakers firsthand how chemical distribution supports their communities, strengthens American supply chains, and keeps essential products moving.

Some of the most effective advocacy happens outside of Washington, D.C. By inviting your elected officials to visit your facility, you can give them a firsthand look at your operations, your employees, and the important role chemical distribution plays in their district.

ACD makes the process easy by helping coordinate the visit, preparing you for policy discussions, and providing support every step of the way.

How a Site Visit Works

From scheduling to follow-up, ACD will help you make the most of your visit.

1

Let ACD Know You're Interested

Contact ACD staff with dates when your facility may be available. Most site visits take place while Congress is in recess, including district work periods around Memorial Day and during August.

2

We'll Coordinate Scheduling

ACD staff will reach out directly to your Member of Congress' office to help coordinate schedules and identify a date and time that works.

3

Get Prepared

Once the visit is confirmed, ACD will provide briefing materials and walk you through the federal policy issues most relevant to your company and facility.

4

Host the Visit

Give your elected official and their staff a brief facility tour, introduce them to your team, and discuss the federal issues affecting your business.

5

Capture the Moment

Take photos during the visit with your Member of Congress, employees, and facility leadership. These photos can help extend the impact of your visit through ACD and company communications.

6

Follow Up With ACD

Share the details and photos from your visit with ACD so our Government Affairs team can help continue the conversation and strengthen the relationship.

Why Site Visits Matter

No amount of advocacy in Washington can fully replace the impact of an elected official seeing your operations firsthand. A site visit puts a face on the issues affecting chemical distribution and gives policymakers the opportunity to meet the people, see the facilities, and better understand the businesses their decisions affect.
