See You in Cedar Rapids

When you read this, ABI will have led Iowa Business Day on the Hill 2020. We thank our partners, the Iowa Business Council, the Iowa Chapter of the National Federation of Independent Business, the Iowa Taxpayers Association, the Iowa Chamber Alliance and the National Association of Women Business Owners for their participation. We also thank you for participating in this important event. Legislators want to hear about what is important to you and your business.

This edition of Business Record Iowa carries a great cover story about Cedar Rapids. That city, of course, is the host city for ABI’s 2020 Taking Care of Business Conference. It is the hometown of my employer, Collins Aerospace, and it’s an important economic center for the state.

I can tell you that there is great excitement in Cedar Rapids about ABI coming to town in June. Count on the community to roll out the red carpet to help make your conference experience the best ever. I’m looking forward to the hospitality, speakers, venues and networking that you will experience at ABI’s 117th annual meeting. If you have not already done so, finalize your plans now to join your ABI colleagues in Cedar Rapids June 9-11. You do not want to miss it! Registration is open at www. iowaabi.org. There is no better way to put your company’s future in focus than by joining us for ABI’s premier annual event.
