Ivanka Trump, the daughter and advisor to U.S. President Donald Trump, delivers a speech at World Assembly for Women: WAW! 2017 conference in Tokyo Friday, Nov. 3, 2017.

BIDDEFORD, Maine -White House adviser Ivanka Trump is scheduled to appear at a forum on tax reform at a business in Maine.  
 
One of the owners of Volk Packaging Corporation in Biddeford says President Donald Trump's eldest daughter will appear at the event on Friday along with U.S. Sen. Susan Collins. Collins is a Republican like the president, but the two have frequently disagreed about issues such as health care.
 
Ivanka Trump has publicly supported a tax reform package backed by Republicans. She has said it would benefit working families, and has stumped for it at other events in recent weeks.
 
U.S. Treasurer Jovita Carranza also is expected to be in attendance.
