"The Washington Auto Show has long championed the theme of sustainable mobility, and we're honored that one of the world's leading safety experts will speak on behalf of the Administration at our Public Policy Day," said Geoff Pohanka, chairman of the 2016 Washington Auto Show and metro area representative on the board of the National Automobile Dealers Association.

The events will kick off with a Capitol Hill forum on Jan. 20 with a full day of press conferences and special events, highlighted by Dr. Rosekind’s government keynote, following on Jan. 21.
