Business leaders from across the state are traveling to Washington today for a Chamber of Commerce fly-in sponsored by several members of the North Carolina congressional delegation.

This afternoon, some county chamber groups are taking Capitol tours. There’s a question-and-answer session with eight members of Congress, then an evening reception with all the delegation, reports Barb Barrett.

Tomorrow, chamber leaders will attend a breakfast with congressional members, then a morning of listening to speakers that range from New York Times columnist David Brooks to Alphonso Jackson, U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.
