New AAFA App Provides Industry Insight and Avenue to Share Industry Issues
Members of the apparel industry are on the front line of many industry issues, such as proposed trade agreements and pending legislation, but often they have limited access to elected officials to voice concerns or share their insight. Now there’s an app for that.
The American Apparel & Footwear Association is hoping to “drive broader member engagement in grassroots advocacy” through its recently released mobile app for iPhone and Android devices.
According to the AAFA, the app allows AAFA members to “directly connect with members of Congress on issues such as renewing Trade Promotion Authority and passing the Affordable Footwear Act” through the organization’s Legislative Action Center. The app will also provide information on current and ongoing industry issues such as the Restricted Substances List, a database of regulated substances and chemicals. The app will also allow users to access the AAFA’s Webinar Learning Center and watch archived webinars on industry issues.
The launch of the app was announced at AAFA’s recent Product Safety West Conference, held Jan. 29 in Marina del Rey, Calif.
The app is available through Apple’s App Store and on Google Play. For more information, visit www.wewear.org/app.
