As an association, we have joined forces with other small business organizations to represent you and the interests of small-business owners, the self-employed and their employees in Washington, D.C. Our top priority is increasing the voice of American business owners and their employees. We believe frank communication on a regular basis with congressional leaders helps to promote legislation targeted toward job creation, fairness in the tax code and fostering an environment which allows American small businesses to prosper. We are striving for our members to have an additional seat at the table.
