Inauguration Corner

How the Inauguration will Affect Regional Business

On Dec. 8, 2008 the Board of Trade hosted How the Presidential Inauguration will Affect Regional Business, a program that briefed more than 125 regional business executives on what to expect for the Presidential Inauguration in our region. The program featured Bill Hanbury, President and CEO, Destination DC; Steve Kral, Senior Policy Advisor, District of Columbia Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency; and, Charlie Fisher, Vice President James Lee Witt Associates. The focus of this program was on regional planning for an event of this magnitude and the implications and opportunities for business in Greater Washington.
