The ITServe Alliance has planned to organize its next in-person Capitol Hill Day in Washington, DC on June 11. The Day will feature significant contributions of the ITServe members to the country's economy through technology and innovation, local employment, and STEM education. The event will also highlight key concerns faced by small businesses, including the need for high-skilled immigration reforms.
In a statement, Sateesh Reddy Nagilla, Director of ITServe Alliance Policy Advocacy Committee (PAC) & Immigration, said over 150 U.S. Representatives and Senators, including influential committee chairs and members, are expected to participate in the conference. He shared that the daylong event will feature Capitol Hill meetings and interactive sessions with Congressmen and Senators.
Sudheer Venkat Chakka, CPAC- Managing Director said with significant immigration legislation expected in Congress this year, they urgently request robust support from our ITServe members for CPAC's strategic initiatives, including policy advocacy and essential fundraising aimed at engaging Members of Congress. “We are requesting more members join the ITServe Capitol Hill Day in our nation’s Capital.”
Anju Vallabhaneni, President of ITServe, said the Day will serve as a powerful platform in educating policymakers on the issues that are important to our members and the business community, ensuring their needs and views are reflected in policy debates and outcomes.

ITServe supports the HIRE Act (High Skilled Immigration Reform for Employment), introduced in Congress in 2024. Innovation, STEM education, and avoiding brain drain are the highlights of the Bill. It has advocated to have the STEM graduates with U.S master’s Degrees and/or Ph.D. holders from the H1-B CAP quota removed and make it unlimited to retain the top talent and innovation in the Country.
ITServe Alliance comprises small and medium-sized businesses that fulfill the growing demand for highly skilled professionals in America. Its members play a crucial role in developing and maintaining essential IT systems for corporations, governments, and various organizations.
