It’s a virtual D.C. Fly-in with members of Wisconsin’s federal delegation as the Fox Cities Chamber of Commerce kicks off its 2021 Public Policy Series. This free event will be presented via Zoom.
 
With a new leadership at the top, a new Congressional make-up in Washington, D.C., and a lingering pandemic, it’s critically important for business leaders to be knowledgeable about and understand the priorities being worked on in our nation’s capital. This is essential so that we can voice our opinions and experiences to our elected leaders. See you online Feb. 22 as we do just that.
