The annual RVs Move America Week gathering returns after a two-year hiatus June 5 – 9 in Washington, D.C.
The annual event begins with two days of committee meetings, where volunteers from across the RV industry collectively work to build a strategic roadmap to help define future growth of the $114 billion dollar RV industry. In addition to committee meetings, participants will gain insight on the state of the RV industry from association leaders and on the policies of the administration from political speakers. Attendees will rub elbows with federal policymakers and industry innovators, forging relationships beneficial to the future growth of the RV market.
“As the impact of RV industry continues to grow, its influence in Washington is vital for the future success of the industry,” RVIA said in its announcement. “It’s more important than ever to make your voice heard and advocate for the federal reforms our industry needs to truly thrive. We encourage every member to participate in these efforts and join us in our nation’s capital.”
