Trip coincides with release of GLI\u2019s 2022 federal agenda<\/em><\/p>\n

Washington, D.C.<\/strong> (July 21, 2022) \u2013 Thirty business leaders joined Greater Louisville Inc. for its annual D.C. Fly-In presented by Baptist Health, where they met with federal lawmakers and appointed cabinet officials to discuss the region\u2019s top concerns and priorities. During the two-day trip, the group met with members of Kentucky and Indiana\u2019s federal delegation to discuss priorities in GLI\u2019s newly released federal agenda and concerns related to inflation and a potential economic recession.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur region is coming off a year of rapid growth and facing record-high inflation, so it is a critical time for our lawmakers to take action to keep our economy on a strong path,\u201d said Sarah Davasher-Wisdom, president and CEO of GLI. \u201cOur D.C. Fly-In gives our region\u2019s top leaders the opportunity to advocate and share the impacts that federal policies have on their organization. I am thankful to the elected leaders who met with our group and pledged to take action on our priorities.\u201d<\/p>\n
