How do lawmakers impact your business?
Come find out at our October Monthly Meeting, when a representative from NFIB (National Federation of Independent Business) gives us an overview of what the State legislature is doing to regulate and dictate how you run YOUR business.
"As a women-owned business leader, it’s hard to manage all the demands of my small business; especially the parts I’m not well versed nor enjoy. That’s why I became a member of NFIB. They’re a watchdog group who advocate and protect the future of small business. If you’re like me, I’m often too busy running my business to worry about things that can hurt my business. But, just because we’re not aware of mandates; doesn’t mean we aren’t required to comply." (Lisa Fullerton - Public Policy Co-Director

Spilman has 15 years of legislative experience, both inside and outside the Texas Capitol. She brings valuable experience in government relations, grassroots organizing, fundraising and direct lobbying to the NFIB/Texas team. Previously, she worked at IIAT as the governmental affairs manager, where she ran the IIAT political action committee, IMPACT, and shared responsibility in lobbying the Texas Legislature on issues important to independent agents in Texas. Spilman began her political career in 2000 as a legislative staffer in the Texas House of Representatives and left in 2006 to begin her lobbying career with attorney Steve Bresnen. Throughout the years, she has also found time to work on political campaigns in the state.

NFIB’s Small Business Day is the opportunity to engage your legislators alongside your fellow Texas small business NFIB members. For legislators to fully understand the impact regulations and mandates have on your business, we need to join together en masse and put a face on small business in Texas. There is a growing movement from out of state labor groups advocating for California-style policies, which would threaten the livelihood of your business and be devastating for the Texas economy. Join our efforts in Austin needed to keep Texas a business friendly state and protect your right to own, operate and grow your small business!
