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.
