We’re proud to serve as your non-partisan voice of business in the Brainerd Lakes Area. This year we participated in the 2026 Washington, D.C. Fly-In, joining business leaders from across the state to engage directly with national policymakers and discuss issues impacting Minnesota businesses.

The annual Fly-In brings together 40–50 Minnesota business leaders for exclusive meetings with Minnesota’s congressional delegation, U.S. Chamber policy experts, and federal agencies. The experience provides an opportunity to go beyond the headlines and have meaningful conversations with the decision-makers shaping national policy.

Thank you Matt Kilian, IOM, Chamber President, Colton Maher (Chamber Board Chair - Woods to Water Real Estate), Jacob Hanson (WAVE Board Chair & Chamber Board Member - J. Hanson Real Estate Group - Edina Realty), Max Walter (Chamber Government Affairs Committee Member & WAVE Board Vice-Chair - CTC), Leah Boedigheimer-Jenkins (WAVE Board Past Chair - Averion Insurance) who helped represent the Brainerd Lakes area and champion the interests of our local businesses in Washington, D.C. Your engagement helps create a stronger future for our business community!

To our amazing government affairs committee, thank you for your ongoing dedication to Lakes Area Businesses!
