The Delaware State Chamber of Commerce is taking to the road with a series of get-acquainted sessions.
The goal of the local visits is to further cement the relationship between the state and local chambers, according to a release.
Led by president and CEO Joan Verplanck, who joined the Chamber in January, DSCC representatives will make six stops along the way to meet with local chamber leaders and members.
It’s important that the State Chamber’s legislative agenda reflects the needs of the entire state as it relates to job creation and profitability, the release noted.
Senior Vice President of Government Affairs Rich Heffron will offer a legislative overview for the balance of this year, and will elaborate on what he sees as potential issues for 2014. Executive Vice President Carol Gabel will address the Affordable Care Act and the options available to small business owners to help them protect their profitability while maintaining employee satisfaction.
Each stop on the tour – which will be hosted in concert with local chambers of commerce – will consist of a 20-minute presentation and a ten-minute Q&A session. Representatives from local businesses are encouraged to attend this free event. You can visit www.dscc.com to register.
