Sharing our voice: Missouri — DC Fly-In
The best way for the business community to have an impact in Washington DC is to show up in person and make our voice heard. That’s exactly what happened this week during the Missouri — DC Fly-In.
Thirty participants joined in the trip this year, which is hosted and organized by the Missouri Chamber of Commerce and Industry. The fly-in gave participants direct access to the state’s Congressional delegation. It also provided a unique networking opportunity and the ability to visit exclusive locations in Washington DC, including the White House.
Keep scrolling to see some of the tweets that were sent from this year’s fly-in. We hope you can join us next year!
