A Note from your Chamber President           While our Chamber has limited resources to actively participate in national issues, it doesn’t mean that we aren’t watching what’s going on. A few of these issues will carry implications for the business community, and they have been the subject of recent conversation in our Chamber. Click here for information, courtesy of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce,  on the following governmental issues.
