Whenever legislative or regulatory issues arise that could affect the floral industry, SAF aggressively protects your interests before Congress and other government agencies, speaking in a single voice for the good of the industry. SAF talks to members of Congress every day to make sure the voice of floriculture and small business is heard.

And when SAF needs you to get more involved in the political process, SAF helps connect you with lawmakers. Through grassroots alerts, Congressional Action Days and other opportunities, SAF informs you about actions in Washington and encourages you to participate.

This Resource Center provides you with access to information on issues affecting the floral industry, pending legislation, your elected officials and action steps taken by SAF on your behalf. You can also access profiles on Members of Congress and look at their voting records on issues that mean the most to the floral industry.
