DMDC 2024 Reactions and More

We spent a fast paced 55 hours on the ground in Washington, D.C. for the 45th Annual Des Moines to D.C. (DMDC) trip by the Greater Des Moines Partnership. This is where elected officials, community groups and business leaders used the time to not only network among themselves but also lobby our federal legislators about some key projects from airports to a new interstate to fixing roads and bridges. The reaction from those involved? Here you will learn more from Tiffany Tauscheck, President/CEO of the Greater Des Moines Partnership, Mark Snell, Chair of the Warren County Board of Supervisors, Joseph Jones, Chief of Staff for Des Moines University and Ro Crosbie, President/CEO of Tero International. So many good things happening and we thought you should know more.

Voices from the Flight to D.C. with the Greater Des Moines Partnership

We made history on Wednesday as more than 200 business leaders, elected officials and non-profit individuals traveled to Washington, D.C. for the 45th Annual Greater Des Moines Partnership D.C. Trip. Here you'll meet several of my fellow travelers as we chatted it up abord a Southwest Airlines Charter Flight. We had one question for our guests, "What do you expect to accomplish while here." The answers were varied.  Thanks for being with us and we hope you'll listen.

The Multi-National Cemen Tech with CEO Conner Deering

It's amazing what we sometimes stumble on. About two weeks ago we received a press release about an acquisition in the UK by a company based in Central Iowa. That got us to digging a bit and we came face to face with Cemen Tech a manufacturing company that makes something called Volumetric Concrete Trucks. Intrigued we invited CEO Connor Deering in for a conversation. And...wow. Forget about the old style cement trucks you're familiar with...this is something drastically different. And the ecological impact is also a big deal. Meet Connor Deering.
