The TRSA 15th Annual Legislative Conference and Annual Awards Dinner will take place in Washington, DC, on 5-6 February 2025. This event offers members a unique opportunity to meet legislators in person, fostering relationships and educating them on key issues affecting the linen, uniform, and facilities industry.
On the day prior to the conference, a workshop for supplier partner members, ‘Performance Excellence Unleashed: Strategies for Success and Growth’ will be led by Kaplan Mobrey, a renowned motivational speaker and award-winning author. This session will allow supplier partners to collaborate and share insights in a non-competitive environment.
The conference will kick off with an afternoon of TRSA committee meetings, followed by an opening keynote address from A B Stoddard, a prominent columnist for The Bulwark and a contributor and guest host for SiriusXM’s POTUS channel. Stoddard will provide an insightful analysis of the political landscape and discuss the implications of the 2024 election results. Following the keynote, TRSA vice president of government relations Kevin Schwalb will prepare attendees for their meetings on Capitol Hill, sharing the latest insights and talking points.
That evening, TRSA will celebrate industry creativity and excellence at its Industry Awards Reception and Dinner, recognising the outstanding contributions of employees and leaders from both operator and supplier member companies. Awards will include:
- Above and Beyond Service Award
- Best Plants of the Year Award
- Clean Green Innovation Award
- Company Community Service Award
- Diversity Recognition Award
- Fleet Graphics Award
- Legislator of the Year Award
- SafeTRSA Safety Excellence Award
- Video Award

The following day, known as Laundry Hill Day, attendees will gather at the Capitol Hill Club for breakfast and a briefing before heading to congressional meetings. For the 2025 event, TRSA has invited members and representatives from across the industry, including the Association for Linen Management (ALM), American Reusable Textile Association (ATRA), CSC Network, and Textile Care Allied Trades Association (TCATA) to join TRSA on the Hill. TRSA President and CEO Joe Ricci stated, “We reached out to other national associations to better represent the full depth and breadth of the industry and to enhance collaboration.” Ricci added, “We look forward to uniting with these organisations to create a stronger, more cohesive voice for our sector.”
