Even for you and American Bus Association, what does advocacy look like and what issues are you focusing on right now?
22:02
Sure.
22:02
I mean, for us, we represent over a thousand companies all across the country.
22:09
The majority of motor coach operators are small businesses.
22:14
They own less than 25 motor coaches.
22:16
And so to be able to bring all of their stories together into a national conversation is one of our biggest responsibilities.
22:25
And we're very lucky that we are not only just a trade association of 501c6, but we also have the ABA Foundation of 501c3 that is great at performing research and pulling statistics from the industry, putting those reports together, talking about the economic impacts of how much we stimulate the economy, how much money we contribute in taxes, and how many jobs we employ across the country.
