High School Vending Students To Participate In Capitol Hill Fly-In

WASHINGTON -- The National Automatic Merchandising Foundation is sponsoring two students and a teacher to participate in the NAMA Fly-In, taking place here July 21-22. The students are from the Randolph Technology School program in Philadelphia.

The NAMA Foundation and many NAMA members support Randolph Technical High School in Philadelphia, which offers the only vocational, high school-level vending technology training program in the country. An annual Career and Technical Education Expo is a cornerstone of the initiative, with several hundred students and their parents participating in last year's event.

NAMA's inaugural Fly-In, to be held July 21-22 in Washington, DC, will feature more than 180 participants from 34 states and DC. The Capitol Hill Day portion of the Fly-In involves meetings with NAMA members and elected officials focusing on key industry issues including nutrition, coin and currency and small business regulatory reform.
