Over the past year we've seen an unprecedented surge in member involvement in AED's Government Affairs Program. Scores of companies have participated in our Start Us Up USA! events and distributors have sent thousands of grassroots letters, faxes, and e-mails to lawmakers in an effort to move the needle on key legislation. Now there's another great way to get involved in AED's advocacy for the industry: Come to Washington for AED's 2010 Spring Government Affairs Conference. Current Industry and Economic Trends Have Changed:
Every AED dealer member should participate in this year's Cost of Doing Business survey. The hour or two invested in this endeavor provides immeasurable returns to dealers needing help in understanding their financial information. AED Member Exclusive - Family Business Planning Webinar Series:
Join renowned family business expert Dana Telford for this two-part executive series, from the comfort of your own conference room.

Construction not in Recession, but Depression:
AED and the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) have launched Start Us Up USA!, a grassroots campaign to call on Congress to quickly reauthorize federal surface transportation programs and enact other legislation to help the equipment industry recover from the unprecedented economic downturn.

There is a secret when it comes to spending wisely in today's economy. The divide that separates "value" and "luxury" has always existed, yet in these uncertain financial times smart money always says that you should get the most bang for your hard-earned buck. And make sure you spend it wisely, too. It makes no sense to overspend on anything, and with the market like it is there's really no justifiable excuse for paying too much.
