The Toy Association to hold annual Government Affairs Strategy Meeting in November
The Toy Association will hold its annual Government Affairs Strategy Meeting on November 17 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Pacific time at Mattel’s headquarters in El Segundo, California.
The members-only meeting will review key legislative and regulatory developments from 2026, examine emerging challenges facing the toy industry and help establish the association’s advocacy priorities for 2027.
Topics will include the post-election political landscape, trade and tariffs, environmental and chemical regulations, artificial intelligence, toy safety standards and evolving international requirements. Attendees will also receive updates on the association’s advocacy efforts and have the opportunity to help shape policy priorities affecting their businesses.
“Our annual Government Affairs Strategy Meeting is an opportunity to come together, review our progress, and identify where we can make the greatest impact in the upcoming year,” said Kathrin Belliveau, chief legal and policy officer at The Toy Association. She added that committee members’ perspectives are important in determining where the association should focus its efforts.
The meeting is open to members of The Toy Association’s State Government Affairs Committee (SGAC), Federal Government Affairs Committee (FGAC), and Safety Standards & Technical Committee (SSTC).
Committee members interested in attending are encouraged to contact Kathrin Belliveau for further information.
