ACCF Engages the 111th Congress
June 15, 2009
2009 has brought a new Administration, a new Congress and a long list of challenging issues facing the nation. The American Council for Capital Formation (ACCF) has been at the forefront of the debate engaging members of Congress from both sides of the aisle and across the ideological spectrum on the leading issues facing the nation today—the recession, economic stimulus, anemic stock market, health care, tax and energy policy and much more.
The ACCF’s renowned Economic Policy Evenings, Capital Formation Forums and advisory committees, have provided a coveted venue for prominent members of Congress to connect with corporate executives, trade association leaders, journalists, and others to discuss economic, energy, and environmental policy issues in a current and topical context.
ACCF’s Senior Vice President and Chief Economist Dr. Margo Thorning has provided expert testimony and reputable analysis on the economic impacts of climate change policy before several congressional committees. In some cases, the ACCF was the sole voice representing the business community before policymakers on these issues.
As Washington’s political landscape changes, the American Council for Capital Formation remains a trusted resource among Capitol Hill’s foremost leaders—a pillar of its three-decade mission to promote strong capital formation for job creation, a high standard of living, economic growth, and competitiveness in the global economy.
