NEK Chamber Hosting 2023 Legislative Breakfasts starting Jan 30

Happy New Year

NEK Chamber Hosting 2023 Legislative Breakfasts

Join us at the St. Johnsbury House again this year. Here is your chance to meet with familiar and new elected representatives to the Vermont Senate and House. The program starts with a short update from the chamber; continues with legislator reports addressing key issues, and concludes with a question-and-answer period as time allows.

Issues expected to be discussed include the state budget, health care, labor and economic development issues, taxes and fiscal policies, and other issues of interest. Laural Ruggles will serve as co-host along with NEK Chamber Director Darcie McCann.

There is a small fee to cover the cost of light breakfast refreshments and the room fee.

In accordance with COVID recommendations, guests may decide for themselves whether to wear masks. There will be hand sanitizer and wipes for use by guests.

For more information on the Legislative Breakfasts, contact the chamber at [email protected] or 802-626-5594.
