50% on regularly scheduled date

As the pace at the capitol continues to pick up, the challenge for a lobbyist is how to be in more than one place at a time. Last week, the House Regulated Industries Committee, the Senate Regulated Industries Committee, the House Ways and Means Committee and the House Health and Human Services Committee all met at the same time! Fortunately, the GFIA works with a coalition of industry leaders to cover our issues. The GFIA team of Kathy Kuzava and Sheila Humberstone works closely with the Georgia Association of Convenience stores, Georgia Bev, the Georgia Retail Association, the Georgia Pharmacy Association, the National Federation of Independent Businesses and other business groups to best serve our members.
