Local Chamber participation in State Chamber Legislative Tie-in

Good afternoon,
As a part of the upcoming Alaska State Chamber of Commerce Legislative Tie-in on October 30th, we will provide time on the morning agenda for local chambers to discuss the topic of "what is the primary barrier to business growth in your community?"
Our intent is to try to find common themes from the many communities and regions around the state to help us focus our discussion and establish our statewide legislative priorities. Issues that may be cause for concerns in your community may well be the same in other communities. Taxes, permitting, costs of health care, workforce availability or other issues that may be cause for concern. This discussion will help us identify common issues and help us focus our legislative positions.
Too often, our State Chamber priorities have been in conflict with each other, i.e... Spend money on this project but adopt a fiscal plan.
By focusing our discussion on the primary barriers to business growth, we hope to set legislative priorities that will allow us to be proactive rather than reactive.
Your participation and input to this discussion will be valuable to us. It will insure we have a broad statewide perspective and include items that are of importance to all communities and regions of the state.
Please let me know at your earliest convenience, of your ability and willingness to participate in this moderated discussion.
We look forward to your participation.
Please feel free to contact me with questions or suggestions.
Regards,
Wayne
