Congressman lined up for LegCon

The upcoming Spring Meeting and Legislative Conference hosted by the National Lumber and Building Material Dealers Association leans heavily on in-person meetings with elected officials. It will also welcome voices from the halls of power to address attendees with insights from inside Washington.

As previously reported, Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) will address the conference during a breakfast keynote. Also speaking will be Congressman David Young (R-IA).

NLBMDA’S Spring Meeting and Legislative Conference is taking place from March 19 - 21, 2018 at The Wink Hotel in Washington, D.C.

Young began his political career working as a legislative and policy aide in Iowa and on Capitol Hill. He initially served the people of Iowa as Chief of Staff to Senator Chuck Grassley.

Now in his second-term representing Iowa’s third district, Rep. Young serves on the House Appropriations Committee. His subcommittee assignments include Agriculture, Transportation, Housing, and Urban Development and Financial Services and General Government.

According to his bio, “The congressman is driven to fix problems, and is a member of the Problem Solvers Caucus, a group of 48 members of Congress equally divided between Republicans and Democrats, who are committed to forging bipartisan cooperation on key issues. His mission is to make government more efficient, effective, and accountable.”

The agenda includes several opportunities to learn about key issues affecting the lumber and building material industry from Washington policy experts and political commentators. The event will culminate with a day for attendees to conduct in person meetings with their elected officials in Congress. For more information visit www.leg-con.org.
