Strengthening Connections & Delivering Value: ABI's March Highlights and What's Ahead

One of the best things about being an ABI member is having access to the terrific content and events the association delivers all around Iowa every year. Providing that content doesn’t happen by accident, and it is an important part of our service to member companies.

In March, ABI hosted several major events across the state. The month began with a Connecting Statewide Leaders event focused on manufacturing issues in Clinton, followed by a virtual members-only ABI Legislative Update. Shortly after, the annual Business Day in Des Moines took place featuring Governor Kim Reynolds, all legislative leaders and national tax policy expert Tony Coughlin from ABI member company RSM. Later that day the ABI Board heard a legislative and association update and the day ended by sponsoring the Corridor Media Group’s Iowa 500 Reception.

Providing opportunities for high-value information and business networking is a vital part of ABI membership In that regard, this edition of the ABI Business Monthly has more great information about how our terrific ABI member companies work together and the valuable partnerships and friendships they’ve formed thanks to ABI. We see those relationships on display at all of our events throughout the year, but especially at our annual conference. In closing, I encourage you to make your plans to attend ABI’s 122st annual convention in Council Bluffs June 10-12. Value-added programming – golf a Bent Tree Golf Club, a beautiful links course, terrific speakers, fantastic new venues, and the very best business networking in Iowa – will all be a part of the conference. Go to www.iowaabi.org and take advantage of the early-bird registration. In the meantime, on behalf of my fellow association officers, thank you for your investment in the important work of ABI.
