The 2019 Dayton Regional Conference was a successful event with elected officials, policy professionals, and those interested in business and government in attendance.
Nearly 200 people attended the conference at Daniel J. Curran Place on Thursday, October 10. Speakers covered issues relating to cybersecurity, the 2020 election, and economic development in the Miami Valley.
Our attendees had the opportunity to hear from the Mayor of Dayton, Nan Whaley and the Lieutenant Governor, Jon Husted. We were also pleased to be joined by Secretary Frank LaRose and Treasurer Robert Sprague.
