Government Affairs Committee Meeting
The Chamber's Government Affairs Committee meets on a monthly basis to review pending legislation and regulations for their impact on the membership, develop positions that will enhance economic growth, and develop programs that inform and encourage members to participate in the Chamber's government affairs initiatives. The committee periodically invites elected officials, advocacy groups, and other decision makers to participate in the meetings and discuss issues that are important to the local business community.
All members of the Chamber are welcome participate in any of the meetings or to join the committee. Please contact the Chamber for more information.
Guest Speakers: Ron Rheaume, Business Manager of the Carpenters Local 1305 & Frank Callahan, President of Mass Building Trades will be our guests at the meeting to provide labor's perspective on open shop competition and responsible employer ordinances. In addition, Conor Yunits of the Dewey Square Group will also be our guest to discuss the "We Work for Health" Initiative. This is a coalition of advocacy groups that support the biopharmaceutical and life sciences industries.
