Your input is needed as the Greater Easley Chamber and our partners with the Upstate Chamber Coalition begin the development of our 2023 Legislative Agenda. Each year we seek input on business priorities and critical issues that face our chamber member businesses. Please take a few minutes and have YOUR VOICE heard by completing this year’s legislative survey.
The survey is open until October to any Chamber Investor and their employees. We encourage you to share the survey link with your management team or anyone in your organization who might be interested in taking the survey. This is a great opportunity to play a direct role in shaping our advocacy agenda for not only our Easley-Powdersville area, but for our entire Upstate region. To be the best advocate for your business, we need your voice.
