LEGISLATORS OF THE YEAR AWARD RECEPTION:
“Fragrance uplifts so many lives in so many ways. I
thank Representatives Bishop and Walorski for their
efforts to promote policies that are good for people,
perfume, and the planet.” -Farah K. Ahmed, President &
CEO of Fragrance Creators
Fragrance Creators kicked off a week of advocacy with its
Legislators of the Year Award Reception, sponsored by the
Congressional Fragrance Caucus. The May 14th Capitol Hill
event honored Representatives Jackie Walorski (R-IN-2) and
Sanford Bishop (D-GA-2) for their support of the Congressional
Fragrance Caucus, through which Members sent a letter to EPA
encouraging the Agency to approve newer, greener fragrance
ingredients. The well-attended reception allowed industry
representatives to meet, engage, and build relationships with
Members of Congress and their staff.
