Legislative Voice |
|
One of our most important roles of the TAAACC is to actively participate in the legislative process on behalf of African-American Businesses. Therefore, in advance of each Texas Legislative Session, our legislative committee meets to finalize strategies and resolutions deemed most important to our constituents and the business community in general. Accordingly, TAAACC strives to identify issues that are most likely to affect the African-American business community and advocate on their behalf. |

 |
The Process |
The TAAACC Board of Directors must approve the organization’s “Legislative Strategy” before it can become an official objective of the organization. Upon approval, the strategy is released to key legislative officials who then distribute the information to the entire Texas Legislative Governing Body. |

A Day on the Hill |
During our “Day on the Hill”, our constituents and corporate members are provided with first-hand policy discussions on issues critical to their businesses. Afterwards, the attendees are granted the opportunity to formally meet some of the legislators one on one as a means for relationship building and further voicing their concerns about pending legislation. |

|
|
Traditionally, TAAACC hosts an awards Luncheon to honor those legislators most supportive advocates for minority businesses throughout the State. |

|
|
Throughout the year, TAAACC's Board of Directors implements resolutions that are in the best interest of the organization and its members.
