Our National Partners
The Midwest Food Products Association works closely with national partner organizations to advocate for the food manufacturing industry at the federal level, ensuring our members’ priorities are represented in Washington, D.C.
Through these partnerships, the Association supports lobbying efforts with Congress and key federal agencies on regulatory, workforce, and business issues impacting food manufacturers. Member companies have opportunities to participate in Washington, D.C. fly‑ins, where they can meet directly with lawmakers and agency officials to share industry perspectives. In addition, our national partners regularly provide legislative and regulatory updates, keeping the MWFPA membership informed on federal policy developments.
