“We are excited to bring the first advocacy app in our industry to our members and sponsors,” said Dale Brown, the organization’s president and chief executive. “With the ever-increasing need to not only advocate but to do so at a moment’s notice, going mobile is critical. FSI has worked  to improve our members’ virtual experience through a new website homepage, a revamped Advocacy Action Center and a rapidly growing social media presence. In this crucial election year, it is critical that our members are provided the framework necessary to take meaningful action, and to take that action on the go.”
