BizVoice/Indiana Chamber – November/December 2017

D.C. Fly-in: Making a Difference in Washington

Among the numerous benefits of membership with the Indiana

Chamber of Commerce is one of the most impactful: When the Indiana

Chamber comes to Washington D.C., people listen.

Over 100 business and community leaders traveled to the

nation’s capital for the annual D.C. Fly-in at a time when the spotlight

was on Indiana. President Donald Trump unveiled his tax reform plan

at the Indiana State Fairgrounds on the first day of the Fly-in and

members of Indiana’s congressional delegation accompanied him on

that trip. Indiana senators Joe Donnelly and Todd Young stepped off

Air Force One back in Washington and joined Sen. Rob Portman

(R-OH) to address our dinner guests on tax reform potential.

Below is a recap of some of the Fly-in activity and reaction, as

captured on Twitter. The Indiana Chamber has over 17,500 Twitter

followers. Are you on the list?
