NEMA Government Relations provides services to its members unique to the electrical industry in the following areas: energy; environment, health & safety; international trade and commerce; and issues related to the diagnostic imaging and medical device industry.
Those services include but are not limited to: analysis of issues important to the industry; communication with members on public policy developments; development of industry positions and advocacy of industry views to the U.S. federal government, U.S. state governments, and foreign governments.
NEMA’s Government Relations staff works to raise the Association’s visibility with congressional and executive branch leadership and monitor all three branches of the federal government in order to advance the interests of NEMA member companies.
NEMA relies on its member companies to help develop its policy agenda via participation on association policy committees. Member company representatives appear before Congress and other policy-making agencies on industry concerns about energy policy, trade, product safety, electromagnetic fields, product liability, the environment, and other business-related issues.
