The primary distinction separating NFIB from other membership associations will be sent to you in the coming days: Your 2014 State Member Ballot.
NFIB centers its lobbying positions in Bismarck and in Washington D.C. on what its members tell it are the issues vital to their ability to own, operate and grow their businesses. It is this process that truly makes NFIB the Voice of Small Business. But there’s more:
- Results from NFIB’s annual Member Ballots are used by lawmakers at the State Capitol as representative of all North Dakota small businesses.
- State agency officials will often use member ballot results in legislative testimony on issues involving the help or hindrance to small business of a regulation or tax
- Ballot results are distributed to the media statewide, often spurring stories on upcoming pro- or anti-small-business legislation.
It is vital you vote. It is important to make your voice heard.
The more of our members who respond, the louder we speak, and the more policymakers listen.
If you do not receive your ballot in the next few days by email, or fax, please send an email to NFIB/North Dakota Member Support Manager Stephanie Wentz.
