FRLA Government Relations is among the most influential and successful advocacy organizations in the state of Florida.  The FRLA has a proven track record of promoting and protecting industry interests and practices through aggressive lobbying, grass roots campaigns and fighting for policies that support the food service industry at local, state and federal levels. In fact, by eliminating damaging public policy before it becomes law, our Government Affairs team's ongoing lobbying efforts have already saved our industry businesses $1.2 million in taxes and fees over the last 10 years..  Led by Richard Turner, our Government Relations division monitors and responds to hundreds of bills each year, insuring that Florida’s hotels and restaurants have an active voice in legislation that impacts your industry.
