Advocacy is one of the core pillars of GBTA — but what does that truly mean for us here in Austin?

Join us for an impactful chapter meeting focused on GBTA Advocacy and how it directly shapes the policies, regulations, and industry standards that influence our day-to-day work in business travel. From aviation policy and traveler safety to sustainability, workforce development, and global mobility, GBTA works year-round to ensure our industry’s voice is heard at the highest levels of government.

During this session, we’ll explore:
• What GBTA Advocacy looks like at the local, national, and global levels
• Key legislative priorities impacting business travel today
• How members — buyers and suppliers alike — can get involved
• Why advocacy matters to your organization and your travelers

Whether you’re new to GBTA or a longtime member, this meeting will provide valuable insight into how collective action strengthens our industry and protects the future of business travel, as well as how committee involvement can strengthen our support as a chapter. 

Your voice matters — and together, it carries weight.

Q&A to follow; bring your questions about GBTA Advocacy on a local, global, and national levels for our very own Government Relations Committee Chair and Liaison, Matt Assolin!
