Opportunities to Pass PHIT & WHIP in the 115th Congress

IHRSA and the industry have set a primary goal of ensuring PHIT (and WHIP) pass during the 115th Congress—namely because there are opportunities to pass PHIT through healthcare reform and tax reform. But, we need your help to accomplish our goal. Please respond to the following survey questions and take additional action by sharing the link to the Get PHIT toolkit with your staff and industry peers. Your feedback will help the IHRSA team immensely. Let's make this the year that Congress passes our industry's Federal Legislation. **Please note** this information will be held in the strictest confidence and will not be shared in any way.

Responses must be recorded for questions 1 and 2 as they will help IHRSA determine who your representatives are and establish whether you or your clubs are represented by members of Congress that serve on key committees such as the Finance Committee or the House Ways and Means Committee. **Responses to all other questions are optional.**
