NFIB Hires Parthenon for 'How Congress Voted'

The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) has tapped the services of Parthenon Publishing to produce its "How Congress Voted" publication.

How Congress Voted is NFIB's report card to members of how lawmakers have voted on key small business issues. The pre-election edition created by Parthenon serves as the association's voting guide and is distributed to all 600,000 members prior to election day.

NFIB takes positions on issues only after polling its membership. It then communicates the collective results to lawmakers as "the small business position" and monitors their support, or lack thereof on key small business issues. How Congress Voted is NFIB's report card to members on how their lawmakers voted on those issues. The pre-election edition of the publication is an important grassroots activism tool to maximize small business' impact on elections.

Parthenon President Bobby Stark said, "We're pleased to help NFIB and small business have a big voice on election day."

NFIB is the nation's largest small business association. The organization is headquartered in Nashville and maintains offices in Washington, D.C. and all 50 state capitals.
