MMG: What is one item you hope to accomplish in the near future with the CCMMG? SS: My hope is that middle-market businesses will get the support they need from Congress and that we get many members of Congress to become part of this caucus. For every member that does join, I hope middle-market companies in their districts are made aware that elected representatives are paying attention and supporting policies that will continue to help drive growth for them. The more awareness we can create on both sides is a win-win. JP: My goal for the CCMMG is that Capitol Hill begins to understand and get excited about the significance of the middle market. I hope this leads to better policies and, ultimately, more jobs. The opportunity to educate and create awareness has not been tapped, and there is a tremendous opportunity to create excitement and initiate policies that will promote this important segment. // Amber Landis is manager, policy communications at ACG.
