Description
The Siouxland/Washington Conference, held every spring since 1954, offers a unique opportunity to join community leaders from the tri-state area in traveling to Washington, DC, to present regional priorities to our Congressional delegation. Conference attendees engage in discussions with all six Senators representing Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota, as well as the eight Representatives from these states. The two-day schedule is packed with meetings on Capitol Hill, including sessions with key department officials and representatives focused on our priority issues. This tradition-rich event also features a steak reception on the first evening, allowing participants to mingle informally with the tri-state Congressional delegation.
