Policy Recap: Engaging regional leaders ahead of 2024 Election
The Board of Trade’s policy and leadership teams have been busy in August engaging public officials and candidates for office across D.C., Maryland, and Virginia to focus on our policy priorities in the region on behalf of our members and the Greater Washington business community.
It was great hosting former Maryland Governor Larry Hogan at MGM National Harbor for a discussion for our members, led by our hosts Rick Limardo and Melonie Johnson of MGM National Harbor, and Board of Trade President & CEO Jack McDougle. Hogan answered questions about issues and opportunities for businesses in Maryland and concerns around the nation’s economy, public safety, education funding, workforce talent development, and more.
We also engaged earlier in the month with Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks and Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown at a recent event in the state that allowed our policy team to amplify our network with key regional stakeholders.
Outside the region, Board of Trade Senior Vice President of Policy, Shayla Moon, traveled to the DNC convention in Chicago to engage regional leaders and members in attendance to advance our organization’s mission.
We look forward to further policy discussions with leaders this fall, including a broader conversation with County Executive Alsobrooks in October and our 2024 Election Watch Series conversations we will be having this fall!
