"The Health & Fitness Association (formerly IHRSA) Fly-In and Advocacy Summit is one of the most important and impactful annual events for the greater fitness industry. It is critical for fitness industry leaders to have a strong and unified voice on Capitol Hill in support of physical activity and the health, fitness, and wellness of US citizens." David Van Daff, NASM Global Industry Advocacy and Relations Director We are so grateful to have had David represent NASM at The Health & Fitness Association Fly-In and Advocacy Summit last month. This event provides a unique platform to meet directly with lawmakers and advocate for policies that support and protect our industry. This year, over 120 fitness industry leaders met with 130 members of Congress or their staff to advocate for the Personal Health Investment Today (PHIT) Act, the Cardiac Arrest Survival Act, and the Armed Forces Fitness Improvement Regimen (AFFIRM) Act. These initiatives promote soldier readiness and retention through community-based fitness programs. Find out more at https://lnkd.in/emGjta_p

As a proud member of the National Football League (NFL)'s Smart Heart Sports Coalition, we applaud Florida and West Virginia for adopting life-saving measures to respond in the event of Sudden Cardiac Arrest and save the lives of young people who may experience SCA. This marks progress, but two-thirds of states are still underprepared. The Smart Heart Sports Coalition is committed to ensuring all states act so all student athletes have access to life-saving care.
