Mary Vermeer Andringa
ABI Past Chair, President & COO, Vermeer, Pella
"ABI has carried the flag for businesses across the state of Iowa in all areas of employment and tax policy. ABI continues to be the lobbying effort for our company to make sure we have a positive business climate. Since we are not able to be on the hill on a continuous basis, ABI is our eyes and ears while the legislature is in session and between sessions."

Christopher Rants
House Minority Leader
"Our number one priority in the legislature is to grow the wealth of ALL Iowans. This is dependent upon the successful development of new and existing businesses within our state. ABI consistently educates our members and brings pro-business legislation to the forefront of our attention throughout the year."

Tim Wilkinson
Vice President, Alcoa, Bettendorf
"Alcoa depends on the Iowa Association of Business and Industry (ABI) to be our legislative watchdog on general business issues. Over the 50 years of our membership, we have had a positive return on our investment on our dues dollars in the form of actual cost-savings or cost-avoidance on issues that affect our business."
