Year after year, this Luncheon is considered the highlight of Committees.

This insider will offer an exclusive scoop on Beltway legislation, policy, and politics, and answer all of your questions on what’s really happening in Washington. The 2009 speaker will be announced soon. This Luncheon is what everyone will be talking about…don’t miss the action!
