Members of the Coca-Cola UNITED team met with Florida state senators and representatives during the annual Florida Beverage Association (FBA) Fly-In in Tallahassee on Feb. 8.

The Fly-In is a face-to-face experience that allows FBA’s dedicated leadership team to gather as a unified group and educate policymakers on the role the beverage industry plays in Florida in terms of jobs and economic impact, as well as in industry leadership initiatives such as Every Bottle Back and the Balanced Calories Initiative.
