Washington Fly-in Policy Briefing

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce invites you to participate in a Washington Fly-in. It’s a great time to organize a delegation from your community to take advantage of this valuable resource at the Chamber headquarters, one of the most historic locations in the nation’s capital, located on Lafayette Park directly across from the White House.

Since its inception in 2000, the U.S. Chamber’s Washington Fly-In Briefing Program has attracted chambers and associations from around the country to hear the inside scoop on hot issues and policies affecting the business community. Delegations consist of business owners, corporate executives, and local business and community leaders in groups of all sizes. They receive a front-row seat at a program tailored specifically to their business priorities and have access to top U.S. Chamber policy and advocacy experts.

To schedule your fall briefing or to learn more, please call 888-732-5228 or flyin@uschamber.com.
