U.S. Congressman Robert Dold will address the business community at a multi-Chamber luncheon attended by members of the, Deerfield Bannockburn Riverwoods, Lincolnshire, Northbrook, Wheeling-Prospect Heights, and Winnetka-Northfield Chambers.      

Congressman Dold represents the 10th District of Illinois, which stretches along Lake Michigan, from Waukegan to Wilmette and includes nearly 700,000 constituents on the North Shore.  Dold is a member of the House Financial Services Committee, and serves on several subcommittees which have jurisdiction over all issues pertaining to the economy, the banking system, monetary policy and international finance.  The Committee also oversees the Federal Reserve Board, the Treasury, and the nation’s capital markets.  He is Vice Chair of the International Monetary Policy and Trade subcommittee, and also serves on two subcommittees with oversight over capital markets, insurance, and housing.

Rep. Dold is the sponsor of two bipartisan jobs bills that were recently introduced in both houses of Congress.  He is the original sponsor of The Startup Act 2.0, which would provide tax incentives for foreign students in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) to start businesses and create jobs in America, rather than returning overseas following graduation.  Rep. Dold is also the author of the Global Investment in American Jobs Act, which would examine policies that prevent global companies from investing in America.  It would order the first-ever interagency report to Congress, led by the Secretary of Commerce, to examine ways to make the U.S. more competitive for investment from top companies around the world. 

Previous to his election, Rep. Dold ran a small business, Rose Pest Solutions headquartered in Northfield, the oldest pest management company in the nation.  He also worked on campaign finance reform during his tenure as an investigative counsel for the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee.

Rep Dold has an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management and a law degree from the Indiana University.  He resides in Kenilworth.
