AISI Holds Congressional Steel Caucus “Meet and Greet” Event on Capitol Hill

On February 7, in coordination with the AISI Board of Directors Meeting, the Institute hosted an official “Meet and Greet” session on Capitol Hill with members of the Congressional Steel Caucus. This very successful event featured member company executives, other industry leaders, over 25 Members of Congress and nearly 40 staffers. In addition, Senate Steel Caucus Co-Chairman Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA)* offered opening remarks and emphasized the importance of a vibrant domestic steel industry.

This event was not only an excellent opportunity for AISI and member company executives to connect and interact with their elected officials, but it also provided a forum for new members of the caucus to meet and engage longtime “steel” champions such as Rep. Pete Visclosky (D-IN)* and Rep. Phil English (R-PA)*, amongst others. In addition, AISI took time at the event to thank all those Congressional Steel Caucus members and staff who continue to support and advocate on behalf of the industry.
