Its Your Organization

Whether or not you are politically “active”, there is no better way to support the candidates

and the issues that impact your company’s travel needs than through NBTA PAC.

Your contribution, combined with the donations from other chapter members across the country,

will help ensure that NBTA PAC has the power to back those members of Congress

who show leadership and commitment to the business travel community’s issues.
