Connect with OK delegation, other officials during Chamber’s annual D.C. trip
Chamber officials, Chamber members and other guests pose for a group photo in front of the U.S. Capitol during their 2019 trip to Washington, D.C. The Chamber is organizing a similar trip to our nation’s capital in April.
After a two-year break due to the pandemic, the Chamber will resume its annual DC Fly-in this year on April 27-28, to provide Chamber members with an opportunity to interact one-on-one with members of Oklahoma’s congressional delegation and defense leaders.
The event includes full briefings from each member of the Oklahoma congressional delegation. Another highlight is a reception on Capitol Hill with Air Force leadership and other Oklahomans in Washington, D.C.
On the second day, sessions will cover specific areas of interest on issues critical to our community. Trey McKenzie, executive director of goverment affairs with the U.S. Chamber, will discuss infrastructure and transportation. Other speakers will focus on defense issues, the Federal Aviation Administration and cybersecurity. Attendees will learn more about legislation that impacts local business and hear directly from our Oklahoma congressional delegation.
If you would like to join some of your fellow Chamber members for this excellent opportunity to connect with various federal and elected officials and each other, registrations are being accepted now through April 1 for $900, which includes a one-night hotel stay, official events, most meals and some transportation to and from programmed events. Air travel to and from Washington, D.C., is not included.
