“With the increased attention to cleaning and hygiene due to COVID-19, it is imperative the cleaning industry make our voice heard by policymakers and regulators,” said ISSA Director of Government Affairs John Nothdurft. “The virtual summit format gives more cleaning industry professionals a chance to get more involved in the policymaking process.”

“Our industries have never been more important and never more subject to government oversight than now,” said IOPFDA Executive Director Mike Tucker. “Leaders and members of our industries can make their voices heard on the legislative and regulatory priorities for their businesses by virtually participating in this year’s Clean Advocacy and Workplace Solutions Summits.”

“Jointly presenting the 2021 Clean Advocacy Summit represents one of the many benefits of our recent merger with IOPFDA,” said ISSA Executive Director John Barrett. “We’re excited to host this virtual opportunity, which brings together the strengths and resources of both organizations for an enhanced, critical, and timely program.”

Sponsorship opportunities for companies to place their brands in front of industry leaders and decision makers, as well as to demonstrate support for ISSA’s government affairs efforts, are available for this event.
