Chippewa Valley Rally
Wednesday, January 28, 2015
This a great opportunity to spend a day in Madison visiting the State Capitol with dozens of fellow Chippewa Valley business and community leaders. We’ll be there to
bring our region’s important economic, education and infrastructure issues to the attention of state government through pre-scheduled small group meetings with legislators and their aides, meetings with top state officials, an informal closing reception, and more. The 2015 Rally will be especially consequential, with over 30 new legislators in office, and several local priority issues ighlighting the agenda. Everything is taken care of, including charter bus transportation to and from Madison (or you can travel on your own if you prefer). To register, contact the Eau Claire Chamber office at 715-834-1204. Event Sponsorships are also available. It’s a valuable way for your organization to show your support for the Chippewa Valley's priorities in Madison. For more information, contact Scott Rogers at 715-858-0616 or [email protected].
