AED has embarked on a 10-day multi-city bus tour.<\/p><\/div>\n

AED leadership is meeting with key equipment dealers across eight states.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to hear first-hand the impact an infrastructure bill will have on our members,\u201d said Robert Henderson, executive vice president at AED.<\/p>\n

\u201dWe will use the data and anecdotes we collect to demonstrate this critical need to the U.S Congress as they consider legislation to replace the Fast Act, which expires on September 30.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
