CLX Policy Luncheon Featuring Kentucky Sixth District Congressman Andy Barr and Fifth District Congressman Hal Rogers on Thursday, October 13, 2016
Commerce Lexington Inc.’s next Public Policy Luncheon presented by Kentucky American Water will be a tag-team of sorts, with Kentucky Sixth District Congressman Andy Barr and Fifth District Congressman Hal Rogers joining us on Thursday, October 13, from noon to 1:30 p.m. at the Hilton Lexington Downtown (369 West Vine Street).
Both Congressmen will give updates on key legislative activities in Washington and discuss the importance of regional partnerships to improve economic development, particularly in Eastern Kentucky. Congressman Rogers will also discuss the ongoing SOAR?initiative - Shaping Our Appalachian Region - which is a network of Appalachia that unites 54 counties worth of talent, enabling people to shape the future of that region. This conversation with the Congressmen will provide the introduction to the upcoming Kentucky Regional Tour, October 24-25, which will take us to portions of Eastern Kentucky, highlighting SOAR?projects and initiatives, and providing opportunities for Central Kentucky leaders to learn how they can engage with the region.
Hal Rogers is currently in his 18th term representing the people of southern and eastern Kentucky, and is the longest-serving Kentucky Republican ever elected to federal office. He serves as Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee. Andy Barr first took the oath of office as U.S. Representative on Jan. 3, 2013. He serves on the Financial Services Committee and the Republican Study Committee, as well as as co-chair of the bipartisan Congressional Horse Caucus.
The cost to attend the Public Policy Luncheon is $45 for Commerce Lexington Inc. members, and $55 for potential members.
