Butterfield (NC-01) has joined his fellow members of the North Carolina Congressional Delegation to host the annual Taking Care of Business North Carolina Business and Economic Development Summit on September 9 and 10. The two-day summit will connect North Carolina businesses with congressional leaders, administration officials, and others to discuss current issues affecting the economy and the business community in North Carolina. We have repeatedly heard from our constituents that creating jobs and strengthening the economy should be Congress' first priority, said Butterfield. This important summit is just one way to provide resources to North Carolina businesses in order to help them create jobs, prosper and grow. During the two-day summit, local businesses will have the opportunity to attend workshops on government contracting, workforce development, raising capital, and building leadership skills. Attendees will also hear from a number of speakers which include U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx, U.S. Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew, U.S. Representative James Clyburn, Our State Magazine Editor Elizabeth Hudson, and several others.
