DMDC

Each year in May, around 200 Greater Des Moines business, civic and regional community leaders travel to Washington, D.C. to present The Partnership's Federal Policy Agenda. This is a unique opportunity to promote vital regional and local priorities and economic development projects to Iowa's Congressional delegation, the Administration and their staffs and to advocate with one voice and one mission as one united region.
