Setting the Table: The Restaurant Industry’s Immigration Principles

Immigration remains one of the most critical and complex issues facing the restaurant industry. As the Administration prioritizes enforcement while signaling some openness to reform, the policy landscape in Washington is evolving — but the path forward remains uncertain. In this moment, it’s essential for the restaurant industry to clearly articulate its principles and priorities to help shape what comes next. 

Join the National Restaurant Association for a timely discussion outlining the restaurant industry’s immigration principles and how they guide our advocacy efforts at the federal level. Association policy leaders will provide an update on where immigration policy stands in Washington, examine the current enforcement versus reform dynamics, and explain how these principles inform the Association’s engagement with lawmakers and the Administration.

Designed for restaurant owners, operators, member company executives, government affairs professionals, state restaurant associations, and advocacy partners, this webinar offers clarity on the Association’s position and confidence in how the industry is navigating this critical issue. 

Please note: This webinar is closed to press.
