NBTAPAC is NBTA's political action committee. It enables NBTA's advocacy team to raise money to support political candidates for federal office who know and understand – and support – the issues of business travelers.
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. Your contribution, combined with the donations from your NBTA colleagues from across the U.S., will help ensure that NBTA has the power to back those members of Congress who show leadership and commitment to the business travel community's issues. So let your voice be heard!
Help us to ensure that congressional seats are held by individuals who understand business travelers' issues and challenges and can have a positive impact on your livelihood. Get involved!
