Description

Making a Difference: Your Voice in Local Government

Actions at every level of government can impact your business and the economy. So how do you make sure your voice is heard when decisions are made at your municipal hall, the county courthouse, the State Capitol, or by the Federal Government? Our “Making a Difference” series is designed to help you answer that question. Make plans now to attend our first program, “Making a difference: Your voice in local government.” At this fast-paced, informative workshop, you’ll get the lowdown on how area local governments in Eau Claire County work. Learn about how city, county, and school districts are organized; how decisions get made; and how you can get involved. We'll conclude with Q&A and informal "Pints & Politics" networking.

This event is presented by the Eau Claire Area Chamber of Commerce Business Advocacy Initiative, the Chippewa Valley Home Builders Association, Realtors Association of Northwest Wisconsin, and Young Professionals of the Chippewa Valley.
