2 Welcome Letter

Dear Community Leader: Welcome to our 33rd Annual Dayton Region Community Leader Washington Fly-In! Thank you for being a part of this effort to share our community’s vision with our nation’s leaders. We started the annual Fly-In more than three decades ago, and in that time, our Fly-In has become one of the nation’s oldest and largest annual regional trips to the nation’s capital. It is vital to helping the federal government understand the needs of our local community. We often talk about collaboration at the DDC, and we take great pride in how business, government, academia, and the non-profit sector come together to support our region and “speak with one voice.” We see the Fly-In as this collaborative ideal come to life. When more than 120 community leaders converge on Washington, it sends a powerful message. As you know, the Fly-In is more than just a show of support for the community’s interests. We believe the Fly-In offers attendees an opportunity to learn more about Washington. Our sessions this year include presentations from the House and Senate Congressional delegation representing the Dayton region. The annual Capitol Hill reception is a chance to mingle with members of the delegation and their staffs, as well as other government officials and business leaders with an interest in Ohio. On Tuesday morning, we will have two keynote speakers, Air Force Lt. Gen. Steven Kwast and award-winning journalist and former Daytonian Andrew Alexander. Lt. Gen. Kwast is Commander and President, Air University, Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama. He provides full spectrum education, research, and outreach at every level through professional military education, professional continuing education, and academic degree granting. Mr. Alexander will explore the long-term national implications of President Trump’s relationship with the media and what it means on a day-to-day basis to citizens and their government. Mr. Alexander is a Visiting Professional at the E.W. Scripps School of Journalism at Ohio University and former Washington Bureau Chief for Cox Newspapers, including the Dayton Daily News. Tuesday afternoon we have several options for attendees. We have a series of lively panel discussions on manufacturing and health care. We will be welcoming back former U.S. Reps. Tony Hall and Dave Hobson to share their insight on the current state of DC politics. Attendees can also choose to enjoy a guided tour of the Smithsonian’s Natural History Museum. The main focus of the trip remains supporting the Dayton region’s federal installations, including Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The largest single-site employer in the state, Wright- Patt has an economic impact on our area of more than $4 billion. As in past years, other important federal issues include transportation and infrastructure, health, human services, education, and quality of life. We encourage you to ask questions, dig deeper into the issues that matter to you, and share your vision for Dayton. I’ll see you in Washington. All my best, Jeff Hoagland President and CEO Dayton Development Coalition

Will this have a real effect on the average citizen in the Dayton region or is it just an overblown inside-the-Beltway dustup? Award-winning journalist and former Daytonian Andrew Alexander will explore the long-term national implications as well as what it means on a day-to-day basis to citizens and their government.

Tuesday Government Track Panels *The Federal Role in Manufacturing Manufacturing has always held a special place in the American economy but the role for the federal government to promote manufacturing in this country is a controversial topic. In recent years, we’ve seen a number of efforts to protect American manufacturing jobs, research new manufacturing processes, and train the manufacturing workforce. What should the government do to promote and protect manufacturing? And what is the role of the federal government in workforce training? **Health Care at a Crossroads Perhaps at no other time has the future of our nation’s health care been more uncertain. The federal government’s next steps to control health care costs and provide health care insurance coverage is more than just a matter for health care consumers in the Dayton region. Health care is a pillar of the Dayton region’s economy and a major employer—part of the trilogy of Feds, Meds, and Eds. This panel will explore what the future might hold for federal health care policy and how it could affect the people of our region—as both individual consumers of health care and as a community dependent on health care for economic development. ***The Voice of Experience on Today’s Washington: Perspectives from Former Dayton Region Congressmen This panel will include former members of the House of Representatives Tony Hall and Dave Hobson offering their perspective of what is happening in Washington today, as well as what leaders of the Dayton region can do about it. Ambassador Hall, a Democrat, represented the 3rd Congressional District from 1979 to 2002, when he resigned to become the United States ambassador to the United Nations food and agriculture organizations in Rome. He was the longest serving member of Congress representing Montgomery County. Mr. Hobson, a Republican, represented the 7th Congressional District from 1991 to 2009. During his terms in Congress, Mr. Hobson was chairman of the Military Construction and Energy and Water Development Appropriations Subcommittees where he had significant influence over federal spending.

Dave Hobson Dave Hobson was first elected to represent Ohio 7th Congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives in 1990. Through his record of accomplishments and leadership, as well as his commitment to quality constituent service, he earned the respect and strong support of the people he represented and his colleagues in the House. Mr. Hobson’s career in public service was characterized by hard work to strengthen national defense, promote economic development, and improve access to quality health care and education. As a veteran himself, Mr. Hobson has a firsthand understanding of our Armed Forces. He served as a Senior Member of the House Appropriations Defense Subcommittee and was a former Chairman of the House Appropriations Military Construction Subcommittee. He fought to make sure our military has the resources it needs to defend our interests around the world, and supported the use of high technology to enhance the capabilities of our military personnel. Mr. Hobson used his experience as a small businessman to work with communities in Ohio’s 7th District to promote economic growth and job creation. Part of his efforts included bringing leaders together from both the public and private sectors to help attract new businesses and support existing ones throughout the district. He was involved with the development of the NextEdge Applied Research and Technology Park in Springfield and the Rickenbacker Intermodal Facility in northern Pickaway County. With four military bases in the 7th district, including: Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB), Defense Supply Center Columbus (DSCC), Springfield Air National Guard Base (SANG), and Rickenbacker International Airport, Mr. Hobson worked with community leaders and base officials to support the missions at each of these bases. This included his work to protect Ohio’s military bases from closure and securing thousands of new jobs during the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) round. Additionally, Mr. Hobson supported needed transportation improvements in the 7th Congressional District, knowing that infrastructure is one of the main components of economic growth. Since his career in the Ohio Senate, Mr. Hobson helped spearhead the completion of U.S. Route 35 through Greene, Fayette and Ross counties, as well as the U.S. Route 33 Lancaster bypass and State Route 256 improvements in Fairfield County. He also was instrumental in focusing attention on U.S. Route 68 in Clark and Champaign counties. Recognizing the importance of continued rail service to the area economy, Mr. Hobson promoted public-private partnerships to protect existing rail service and ensure that it remains a transportation resource available to 7th District businesses. Air transportation was also a focus and he secured funding for needed improvements to airports throughout the district. Continuing the work he began as chairman of the Ohio Senate Health Committee, Mr. Hobson worked in Congress to preserve the basic values of American health care including access, security, affordability, choice and fairness. He also supported legislation to ensure fair access to immunizations for low-income children and to help small business owners and farmers secure better prices on health insurance premiums. He also helped to win passage of legislation to protect the health insurance of families that lose or change jobs. Additionally, he wrote a section of a law to eliminate health care paperwork and fight fraud--both of which will help control costs.

Dayton Early College Academy Meet our Students One of the primary purposes of the Fly-In is education of the leaders of the Dayton region on government affairs. But it is not just about educating the current leaders. We also want to make sure that the next generation is knowledgeable and ready to become the civic leaders of tomorrow. As in previous years, the trip will include two high school students with an interest in government and politics. The students come from the Dayton Early College Academy (DECA), a non-traditional charter high school that prepares first- generation urban students to go to college. Jocelyn L. Martin Jocelyn is a senior at the Dayton Early College Academy. Next fall she plans to attend Miami University and later to enroll in medical school with the dream of becoming an anesthesiologist. She is the daughter of Garry Martin, principal of Vandalia’s Demmitt Elementary School, and Lisa Marti, a small business professional at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. She was born in Dayton and now lives just northwest of Dayton. Her community activities include working with residents of the Mary Scott Nursing Home and the Stillwater Center for the Disabled, reading at the Dakota Center, fundraising for improving healthcare, and helping local food banks distribute food to the homeless and disadvantaged. In 2016, Senator sponsored her as a Senate Page. She was a summer latchkey facilitator at Vandalia-Butler’s B.A.S.E. program (Before and After School Experience), the district’s latchkey program, which provides an affordable, supervised program for students. She loves to read, travel, and spend time with her family. She is President of the Dayton chapter of Top Teens of America. At the national level, she serves as chair of the group’s Community Beautification, where her job is to promote “Keep America Beautiful.” The three federal issues she cares about the most are making college affordable, providing low cost or free health care to Americans, and ensuring that women have pay and rights equal to men. “I believe that it is crucial for students to be able to obtain a sound education past high school without worrying how to pay for college,” she says. She is excited to attend the Washington, D.C. Community Leader Fly-In and looking forward to meeting and creating new relationships with some amazing people. She hopes to network and connect with those who are as passionate as she is about her community. “Forming sound relationships is always the start of building a foundation that leads to success,” she says.

Table of Contents 25 2016-2017 PDAC Process & Overview

The Dayton Region Priority Development and Advocacy Committee (PDAC) was established as a committee of the Dayton Development Coalition to assist in establishing regional priorities for funding public projects that benefit the economic development, health, education, or quality of life in the region. The PDAC process involves coordination by representatives from the Dayton region’s business community, local government, education, and civic organizations. Projects are initially evaluated by one of five Review Panels of subject matter experts. Review Panel members may include members from Montgomery, Greene, Clark, and Miami Counties for broad geographical representation. Projects submitted to the process are posted on the Coalition’s website and subjected to public review and comment. The recommendations of the Review Panels are forwarded to the PDAC, which includes business and civic leaders. The PDAC list for 2016–2017 was approved at a meeting on February 15, 2017. Projects are designated as “Priority,” “Recommended,” or “Reviewed.” Priority Projects are the top projects that will make the most significant impact in the Dayton region among the projects that were submitted. These projects are the region’s top priorities for funding because they strongly meet the evaluation criteria and are expected to have the greatest regional impact. Recommended Projects meet the needs of the region and would provide benefit to the Dayton region if funded. Reviewed Projects are projects that have gone through the PDAC community review process and public vetting. Recommendations by the PDAC priority process are advisory only. The Coalition manages the PDAC process as a service to the community and offers the opportunity for project sponsors to gain public vetting, peer review, community input, and recognition for projects of regional merit.

AEROSPACE AND DEFENSE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OVERVIEW Program Overview Our purpose is to move Ohio and the Dayton region toward being recognized as the National Center of Aeronautics and Aerospace Systems not only by major producers and suppliers in the aerospace chain, but also by the federal government, specifically the US Air Force. This program builds on the value proposition that Ohio is a top tier aerospace state, and proximity to Wright-Patterson AFB and its research/ acquisition facilities, is highly valuable and desirable to industry. The aerospace and defense industry in Ohio consists of over 104,000 people, with the following attributes: • The #1 supplier of the 50 states to Airbus • The #1 supplier of the 50 states to Boeing • The home of two national aerospace laboratories: the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and NASA Glenn Research Center • The home of aerospace prime, General Electric Aviation Below are distinct Aerospace and Defense thrusts/tasks: UAS Strategy: Devise and implement strategies to attract a portion of the future estimated $90 billion Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) Industry, and seed the region to attract larger segments of aerospace production capabilities; work to establish UAV-compatible airspace in Ohio to serve as an industry attractant. Federal Retention Program: Develop and execute strategies to acquire new missions and retain existing jobs at WPAFB and Springfield ANGB; these efforts will be targeted to take direct advantage of the BRAC 2005 gains at WPAFB as well as its existing Air Force and DoD centers of excellence. Aerospace Attraction: Devise and implement strategies to attract major aerospace prime contractors such as Boeing, Northrop Grumman, Airbus Americas, and Lockheed Martin. Devise and implement strategies to attract other aerospace companies to startup, expand, or relocate to the region.

Table of Contents 34 Aerospace and Defense

Supply Chain Development: Execute an Aerospace Supply Chain Stimulation strategy, building on the fact that Ohio is the #1 supplier to Airbus, #1 to Boeing and #3 to Northrop Grumman; attraction programs will center on existing suppliers and evolving composites and carbon fiber suppliers for future programs; also, capture Israeli defense industry in support of the US aerospace market. Support Research and Development: Lead attraction, development and support efforts of SBIR-capable companies to support AFRL; establish core business clusters in areas of interest to AFRL Technology Directorates; and work closely with the University of Dayton Research Institute (UDRI) and Wright State Research Institute (WSRI) to develop communities of interest to support technical elements of the AFRL portfolio. Continue to cultivate commercialization of technologies developed in AFRL. Dayton Region Military Collaborative (DRMC): The DRMC is a new initiative designed to further enhance communication, innovation, partnership and collaboration between our community, military and veteran organizations. This effort consists of discussion, activities, and action and provides: 1. A channel for communication between military and community leadership across multiple focus areas 2. A mechanism to share best practices and innovation 3. A means to sustain the partnerships established between the Dayton region and federal installations – Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Springfield Air National Guard Base and the Dayton Veterans Affairs Medical Center.

Wright-Patterson Air Force Base is one of the US Air Force’s largest and most important installations. It is the birthplace, home and future of aerospace. Huffman Prairie Flying Field, located adjacent to the base’s main runway is the site of the world’s first operational airfield and where the Wright brothers, in their own words, “really learned to fly.” Wright-Patt’s highly specialized workforce of over 27,500 military, civilian and contractor employees provide vital support to ensure Air Force and joint warfighters have modernized systems needed to fly, fight and win. By virtually any measure, Wright-Patt is the most diverse and organizationally complex base in the US Air Force. This is where America’s Air Force aircraft of tomorrow are conceived, developed, and acquired. Missions for base units vary from acquisition and logistics management, to research and development, advanced education, heavy airlift flight operations, intelligence, and a vast array of other activities. On any given day, several hundred Wright-Patterson Airmen are deployed or readying for deployment, global exercises and humanitarian operations. Security Forces, physicians, nurses, and other medical technicians, intelligence analysts, contracting and logistics professionals are just some of the people Wright-Patt deploys.
