The European
Society of Association Executives (ESAE) will hold an advocacy event at the
European Parliament with ambitions to simplify and streamline regulations for
associations in Europe.
The ‘Policy
Manifestos and Associations' Impact’ advocacy event will take place at the
European Parliament in Brussels on 26th September 2023.
Association
executives and EU Policymakers will come together for discussions on how to
achieve impact in EU Public Affairs. The event will be hosted by Gabriel Mato MEP. Guido Lobrano, vice president and deputy director general at the European Information Technology Industry Council (ITI), which cochairs the ESAE Advocacy Community, will moderate the panel discussion.
Mike Morrissey said: “This event will bring together leading parliamentarians, policymakers and association leaders for a debate on how best to showcase the great work that association do across Europe to support our society in a breadth of different professions and sectors.
“Holding the event inside the European Parliament is a sign of the ongoing need to engage with elected politicians and their teams, to ensure discussions are based on facts and held in full transparency."
Ahead of the next European Parliament elections in
2024, association are drafting manifestos to convey the views of their members
in their respective industries. In this context, this event aims to emphasise the
role that associations play in a fact-based debate, taking into account the
needs of the European Institutions for timely, non-biased and coherent input
that will lead to better legislation.
