On the Road Again – ABI Public Policy Team Holding Regional Meetings in May and June

May 9, 2024 | Iowa Tourism: Economic Impact, Quality of Life, and Oh Yeah…FUN! JD Davis, ABI, jddavis@iowaabi.org

This issue of Business Monthly focuses on summer travel opportunities in Iowa. Your ABI public policy team will be traveling around the state this summer as well to meet with ABI members and community leaders. During these meetings, we will provide updates on business matters, highlight public policy achievements from the 2024 legislative session, and collect input for public policy for the 2025 legislative session.

Attendees will learn of new tax changes for businesses and individuals, changes to the unemployment system, workforce training and business automation through Manufacturing 4.0. ABI has tracked literally hundreds of bills so the briefing will be thorough.

To help our statewide membership participate, our goal is to hit all four points of the compass and hold a meeting in central Iowa.
Dates are fast approaching. Locations and dates are below –

May 13 Waterloo
May 20 Council Bluffs
May 21 Le Mars
June 5 Davenport
TBD Central Iowa

Bring your ideas. We want your input to start forming our public policy positions for 2025. ABI member companies are invited to join our specific policy committees that will be meeting at the end of summer. If you have concerns related to Environmental, Employment and Workforce, Tax, Economic Growth or Workplace and product safety policies, we have a committee for you. Join one by contacting Levi Lefebure (llefebure@iowaabi.org), and you will get full access to the ABI policy development process.

Happy travels this summer, and we hope your schedule will find us together for policy development.
