DDC Fly-In

The Dayton Region hosts one of the United States' most extensive and enduring community-wide programs, known as the Fly-In. This initiative, launched in 1984 by the Dayton Area Chamber of Commerce, continues annually with the primary objective of bridging the gap between local interests and federal governance in Washington, D.C. 

Each year, local leaders visit Washington, D.C. to engage with federal officials, advocate for regional interests, promote economic development, and improve quality of life. The highlight is a Capitol Hill reception, offering networking with lawmakers and business leaders interested in Ohio.
