One of the many reasons to belong to a national trade association is to have a voice in order to share information important to the members of the association with legislators and other policymakers in Washington, DC. Many of these associations entrust the conference and convention photographers of Caught in the Moment Photography to create imagery that accurately represents the events that are planned to educate the legislators and policymakers.

Because these legislators and policymakers are in a position to alter the way business is conducted for the members of the association, regardless of what the profession is, several of these national trade associations conduct what they often refer to as legislator education missions at the legislator’s office in Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. These organizations want to share with their members that they are active in advocating for their interests and of the profession as a whole so they create publicity pieces to share what it is that they have been doing. It is in the planning and execution of these visits that many event planners for the national trade associations choose the conference and convention photographers of Caught in the Moment Photography to document the visits of their members up to Capitol Hill.
The publicity pieces that the event planners work in conjunction with the public relations department of the national trade association are very valuable in furthering the goals of the association. These goals can include but are not limited to keeping, in many cases, the many thousands of members informed of their activities in educating the policymakers that would have a direct impact on how they are able to conduct business. Another goal in producing the collateral materials is often creating recruitment pieces targeting the members of the association so that their numbers will be greater in following years and continue with their efforts.
Many of the professional event planners for these national trade associations have trusted the conference and convention photographers of Caught in the Moment Photography for many other projects, so hiring them to document the education activities in and around Washington, DC only seems like a natural step to take.
