The IMG Taskforce's annual lobby day was held on May 30, 2012 in Washington DC. IMG Taskforce members from across the United States convened on Capitol Hill and met with more than 35 Congressional offices to promote The Conrad State 30 Improvement Act (S. 1979). The Conrad State 30 Improvement Act was introduced on December 12, 2011 by Senator Kent Conrad (D-ND) with co-sponsorship by Senator Moran (R-KS). If passed, the Act would expand and permanently reauthorize the existing Conrad State 30 Program.
