Road Trip!!
The Government Relations Committee is coordinating MOV Chamber Day at the Capital on Wednesday, March 15.
All Chamber members are welcome to join us!
The registration deadline is Monday, March 6.
There is no cost for Chamber members to attend.
Lunch is complimentary, and has been sponsored by our friends at First Energy and the Polymer Alliance Zone.
The 2017 Legislative Session is only 7 days in, but already over 862 bills have been introduced in the House and Senate.
And the Governor's proposals to close the $500 million budget gap are getting much discussion. To quote Phil Kabler of the Charleston Gazette: "every line-item in the budget has a constituency" -
Are you making your voice heard about the things that are important to you and your business?
Do you know how the actions in Charleston may affect you and your business?
Join us on March 15 for a front-row seat to the legislative process.
Attend Committee meetings and the General Session.
Have lunch with our elected officials and special guests.
Share your concerns, but more importantly, take time to learn.
We will have the Governor's Cabinet & Conference Room (adjacent to the Secretary of State's wing)
reserved from 11am - 3pm. Lunch will be served from 11:30am to 1:30pm.
Please plan to spend some time in the Conference Room as our legislators will stop by in between committee meetings and session to join us for lunch. I encourage you to bring any talking points or handouts pertaining to your organization to share with our elected officials.
