The Northeast Wisconsin Chamber Coalition Washington Fly-In was scheduled for May 4-5, 2009. The 2009 Trip itinerary can be found online.

Fly-In affords members direct meetings with Congressional delegates

This annual trip gives Chamber members the opportunity to meet with their representatives and engage in dialogue on issues affecting their businesses. 

Whether you are experienced at contacting elected officials or someone who'd like to learn how to have your legislative and business concerns addressed by your elected representatives, this annual event affords the opportunity to meet with officials in the congressional office building with the delegates and members of their staffs. The Chamber staff, with input from many members, drafts a list of key business issues as well as background information for participants to review and add to prior to the Fly-In. This information helps initiate the conversations with the representatives.

The dialog with the congressional delegates will take place during a visit to Capitol Hill on the second day of the Fly-In.  Meetings with Congressmen Tom Petri and Steve Kagen, and Senators Herb Kohl and Russ Feingold are planned.
