U.S. Reps. Buddy Carter (1st District) and Rep. Doug Collins (9th District) and Sen. David Perdue’s staff met online with Georgia small business owners Thursday and Friday as part of NFIB’s first Virtual Fly-In.
Ordinarily, NFIB members travel in Washington, D.C., to learn more about the issues affecting America’s small businesses and call on lawmakers and their staffs on Capitol Hill, but because of concerns over the novel coronavirus, this year’s event was held online.
Topics included COVID 19 recovery and concerns over a provision in the Fiscal Year 2021 National Defense Authorization Act that would levy costly new beneficial ownership reporting requirements on small businesses.
“We wish we could have met with everyone in person, but we still had very worthwhile discussions about issues that matter a lot to our members,” NFIB State Director Nathan Humphrey said.
