We closely tracked and responded to legislative proposals, regulatory and administrative actions impacting CBP and CBP plans.

- $950 spent. Educational materials about our association, the CBP model, association members and their scope, including an organizational one-page handout, letters specific to various issues impacting CBP, and other miscellaneous correspondences. The materials were highly effective in helping inform and obtain support from key stake holders throughout the year in a variety of settings.
