120 regional leaders take part in D.C. Fly-In
City Manager Norbert Klopsch and I participated in the annual D.C. Fly-In on April 28 and 29. This is the first time Oakwood has taken part in this regional effort which celebrated its 25th anniversary this year. It was an excellent opportunity for us to present our regional priorities to our legislators, question them regarding these priorities and gather information about their place in the national debate. The two day program was packed full and scheduled down to the last minute. Our time was excellently utilized.
One hundred and twenty people jointly pursued addressing our congressional delegation with our regional goals. This group represented academia, industry, elected officials, public sector and non-profit/civic organizations. It was a tremendous cross section of regional leadership.
The leadership for this effort came from the Dayton Development Coalition. The thoroughness of their planning and preparation was most impressive. The notebook each participant received prior to our trip was full or important information to help us make maximum use of this opportunity. It revealed the broad based committees utilized to determine the priorities for our multi county region. Each priority project was described including funding needs. Also, it provided background of the speakers we would hear. Much of the material has great value for sharing with other members of whatever organization we represent.
The city of Oakwood is a member of the Dayton Development Coalition because of the benefits they provide to us. The coalition is both beholding to no one and beholding to everyone. Their regional focus is successful because it represents a true coalition of interested segments of our region. The coalition staff includes innovative, highly skilled individuals who have access to important networks for our economic success. They focus not on recycling our current economic accomplishment but on promoting our regional strengths to bring new economic benefits to our communities. The experience with the D.C. Fly-In encourages our continued support of the Dayton Development Coalition.
