12TH ANNUAL RCGA LEADERSHIP TRIP
Since the inaugural visit to Cleveland back in 1966—and subsequent RCGA Leadership Trips to Seattle, Baltimore, Denver, Toronto, Boston, San Diego, St. Louis, Atlanta, Minneapolis-St. Paul and most recently Chicago last September—the Leadership Trip has been a civic “best practices” experience of other regions, while facilitating peer-to-peer networking among and between St. Louis leaders and leaders in other metropolitan areas.
This year’s Destination:
Indianapolis, Indiana
Former 4-term Indianapolis Mayor and
former U.S. Congressman William Hudnut,
an author, public speaker, television
commentator, think tank fellow, and
clergyman, will join us on the Trip.
A sampling of Indy topics will include:
• Why Indianapolis Ranks As “One of the Best Business Climates”?
• Sports as an Economic and Community Development Initiative
• The Importance of Eli Lilly to Indianapolis; Jobs, Philanthropy and Prestige!
• SustainIndy—Growing a Sustainable and Livable City
• Indianapolis and Its Success as a Freight Hub
Our schedule includes two nights at the renowned Conrad Hotel. Other
prominent venues include: NCAA’s headquarters; the Indy 500 and the recently completed Lucas Oil Center, among other outstanding locations. The cost for the RCGA Leadership Exchange is $2,750, which includes round-trip transportation, the hotel, all venues and meals in Indianapolis.
