BERNADETTE
BUDDE is the Senior Vice President of the Business-Industry
Political Action Committee (BIPAC). Many regard her as
the dean of Congressional campaign watchers. She is that
rarest of political entities: an astute observer, possessed
of unblemished integrity, who has maintained a finger
on the pulse of the Congressional continuum for a remarkable
15 consecutive election cycles. Bernadette Budde will
provide a rundown of the political and election landscape
of the 2010 election season.
GREG CASEY is the President and CEO of the Business-Industry
Political Action Committee (BIPAC). He has the ultimate
insider’s under-standing of Washington’s political
machinery, tempered with real-world experience. "In
one of the most critical election cycles for business in
some time, employers may be sitting on their most effective
political involvement strategy and not even know it. Greg
Casey, will highlight business involvement strategies,
which capitalize on new opport-unities that create foundations
for more effective business advocacy, including a review
of the recent ruling of the US Supreme Court.”"
SENATOR JEFF SESSIONS is serving his third term and
has continued to develop and support policies that benefit
Alabama residents and manufacturers. He currently
serves on the Budget, Energy & Natural Resources, Armed
Services and Judiciary committees. Senator Sessions
will share the latest information on the Deepwater Horizon
tragedy and the potential effects it will have on offshore
drilling, energy, Alabama and the nation.
