Filing for the May 29 party primaries closed last Friday.

As part of its 10-year effort to build a comprehensive policy agenda, the Chamber of Commerce is forming advisory councils in six industry clusters. The primary charge to each of these councils is to (1) identify specific public policy concerns relative to each industry; (2) provide policy feedback as we develop our Ten Year Public Policy Agenda; and (3) recommend to the Board specific programs and services that will serve their industry's needs. Participation in the councils is open to all Chamber members. The meeting list and contact information can be found here. 

Meetings begin Monday, March 19.

Chamber non-members expressing interest in participating are welcome to join the Chamber prior to Cluster meetings by registering online here or by sending an email.
