The Dakota Regional Chamber of Commerce offers real-time information and resources on cutting-edge legislative issues impacting businesses through an exclusive Advocacy & Issues Breakfast Forum. These quarterly breakfasts deliver business community members, first-hand perspectives from influential lawmakers and leading industry experts on how legislation at all levels of government affects the bottom-line, job creation, growth, and expansion.
As a popular benefit, the the topic is presented by local and State experts. The series allows participants to shape the conversation, as well as an opportunity to communicate concerns, comments, and questions. For event information please contact Kayla Hudson at khudson@dcrchamber.com
