SOCMA needs input from members on all policy-related matters. The best way to receive updates and ensure your teams stay informed on critical regulatory/legislative issues directly impacting your facility is through participation in Government Relations-based SOCMA committees. Participation levels vary from company to company and individual to individual. Some members simply receive email updates on new laws and regulations, others work directly with the GR team to develop SOCMA regulatory/legislative direction and activity, while others participate by delivering testimony, comments, and other opportunities to educate key policymakers.
