Description

31st Annual Chippewa Valley
Wednesday, March 5, 2025
Madison * Best Western Premier Park Hotel and Wisconsin State Capitol


This annual event is organized by the Chippewa Valley Chamber Alliance, representing the Chippewa Falls, Menomonie, and Eau Claire Chambers of Commerce. It's a unique opportunity to bring a collective voice on regional and state economic priorities to Madison all at one time. 

At the Rally, we'll deliver to policymakers a shared consensus on issues important to the economy of the Chippewa Valley. This year's topics will include healthcare, education, talent attraction & retention, childcare, the state's role in addressing homelessness, economic development & tax reform, transportation & infrastructure, and energy. Plus, we'll express thanks for previous regional priorities enacted during the past two years. The specific issue statements will be finalized soon

How it works: You'll be part of a team of several dozen area business and community leaders traveling to Madison for small group meetings at legislative offices, a luncheon, informal discussions with lawmakers and staff, and networking with others from the area who are interested in state government policy. And don't worry if you've never participated before. Our legislative office meetings will be led by experienced previous participants.

Schedule: You'll spend a full day in Madison from 10:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., scheduled to allow you to leave in the morning and be home by late evening. Events will take place at the State Capitol and the Best Western Premier Park Hotel. Registration fees include a keynote luncheon and other events and refreshments. There will be online pre-event briefings to acquaint you with the 2025 Rally Issues and the political climate in Madison.

After you register, you'll receive more information and be kept informed of plans as they are finalized. If you have questions, contact Scott Rogers, Vice President Governmental Affairs, at the Eau Claire Area Chamber of Commerce:   rogers@eauclairechamber.org
