Elected officials invited to attend include Senators Ray Cleary, Dick Elliott and Luke Rankin as well as Representatives Liston Barfield, Alan Clemmons, Tracy Edge, Nelson Hardwick, George Hearn, Vida Miller and Thad Viers.
“Each year the chamber holds its legislative luncheon to give the business community an opportunity to meet with local lawmakers and learn where they stand on important issues,” said Marion “Buzz” Freeman Jr., chairman of the Legislative Policy Council and senior vice president and coastal area executive with Conway National Bank.
“Likewise, it provides a forum for the business community to share views, opinions and insights with our legislators in preparation of the upcoming legislative session.”
The chamber’s 2010 legislative agenda will also be unveiled at the luncheon. The chamber is conducting a member survey to help determine upcoming fiscal and policy issues of concern at the local, state and federal levels.
