We wrapped the 2026 CLDA Fly-In & Advocacy Summit in Washington, D.C. with incredible momentum!

Here are a few takeaways from our time on Capitol Hill:

- Supply Chain Security Alignment: We had a highly productive session to discuss clear, actionable next steps to ensure security policies remain practical for real-world operations.

- Legislative Impact: Our members completed 66 individual meetings with legislative offices. The initial feedback is overwhelmingly positive. Lawmakers are listening to the challenges and opportunities facing our industry.

- The Power of Connection: Our 2026 Connect Event DC Networking Mixer was a huge success, proving once again that our greatest strength is the collaboration between our members and coalition partners.

A special thank you to our Fly-In Sponsors GigSafe, Openforce and SCI LLC and to everyone who represented the CLDA last week. Whether you were in the room or supporting from afar, these wins belong to the entire industry.
