In the current climate, leadership from the federal government is needed now more than in recent memory. That puts even greater significance on the Indiana Chamber’s annual D.C. Fly-in, which connects you directly with members of the state’s congressional delegation.
We are pleased to offer the 2020 D.C. Fly-in as a two-day virtual event and free of charge for our members and the Hoosier business community!
Sponsored by Build Indiana Council, Hoosier Energy, TruGreen and Indiana American Water, it takes place August 12-13 from 10 a.m. to noon EDT (both days) and will be held through Zoom.
All of Indiana’s 11 delegation members – led by Sens. Todd Young and Mike Braun – have confirmed their participation for at least one of the moderated sessions, with many appearing in both.
“We’ve put together a program that prioritizes the unprecedented situation we are still in, while also acknowledging that other key matters still need to be addressed,” says Greg Ellis, the Chamber’s vice president of energy, environment and federal affairs.
“With the convenience and safety of the webinar format, we hope to engage a record number of Hoosier business leaders in the Fly-in discussion.”
The day one conversation will center on the here and now and into next year. Specifically, what’s left to do to aid in emerging from the pandemic and the longer-term economic recovery. Also on tap will be security concerns and international relations.
Traditional domestic issues that remain of paramount importance and await action highlight the agenda on day two. These include infrastructure, health care, broadband and fiscal matters.
Attendees can submit their questions for consideration in real time on any of these policies or another topic. Questions will be prioritized based on frequency and impact on the Hoosier business community.
The two retiring representatives, Pete Visclosky (IN-1) and Susan Brooks (IN-5), will be honored as part of the program.
