A Look at Public Policy

About Chamber U: A Look At Public Policy
As Americans continue to move through some of the toughest times that our country has had to deal with in a number decades, many have been forced to rethink and regroup, both personally and professionally. The Federal Government is also experiencing its own set of challenges which have and will continue to trickle down to both State and Local governments – ultimately affecting social services and usually increasing the tax burden for many.  These obstacles have forced leaders to consider alternative options to solving our current problems.  A Look at Public Policy is an opportunity for you to become more familiar with our elected leaders, the challenges that our community currently faces, and how you can become better positioned as an individual and/or business in this New Year.  Join us for this session, where you’ll learn about the issues that have an impact on your business, have the opportunity to ask questions and hear from those that are affecting your bottom line!


 

 About Chamber U: Chamber U is a new, innovative initiative of the Greater Durham Chamber of Commerce designed to address critical topics and to help prepare Chamber members to meet the ever-changing demands of the workplace.  These once-a-week educational opportunities provide members with valuable tools and information they can take back to their businesses and utilize to help them achieve the success they desire. The program provides individualized growth and development opportunities for entry level to executive leadership covering the entire gamut from "nuts & bolts" to "visionary thinking."

Who can attend? Anyone can attend, and most subjects are good for any Durham or Triangle resident, businessperson or community member!
