Its Your Organization
Whether or not you are politically “active”, there is no better way to support the candidates
and the issues that impact your company’s travel needs than through NBTA PAC.
Your contribution, combined with the donations from other chapter members across the country,
will help ensure that NBTA PAC has the power to back those members of Congress
who show leadership and commitment to the business travel community’s issues.
