Wrapping Up Day on the Hill and Looking Ahead to Conference

April 8, 2022 | Solutions for Iowa's Evolving Workforce Jack Hasken, ABI Chair, Jackson Mfg., Inc.,

Welcome to another edition of Business Record Iowa. The cover story looks at Iowa’s evolving workforce. It is an informative and interesting read in my opinion. If you are like me, you enjoy learning about what others are doing and keeping up with best practices in the workplace.

On another matter, last month's annual Day on the Hill was a huge success. Thank you to those who participated from all across our state. Day on the Hill provided yet another opportunity for ABI members to thank our elected state officials for their service and to discuss pending legislation. Whether a business owner or a legislator, we all want to help make Iowa a better place to live, work, and raise a family.

Finally, in regards to our upcoming conference, I would note that Hotel Julien Dubuque is already sold-out for the 2022 Taking Care of Business Conference, ABI's 119th annual convention. That event will be held June 14-16 in Dubuque. The good news is that there are still plenty of other lodging options remaining. Please go to www.iowaabi.org for more information.

The hospitality, speakers, venues, and networking at the conference are the very best you will find anywhere in the state. If you and your team attend only one event this year, this is the one that will give you the best return on your investment in terms of time, money, connections, and resources. My wife and past ABI Chair, Sarah, and I look forward to seeing you and your co-workers in June in Dubuque.
