2019 Political Forums
The Greater Iberia Chamber of Commerce will be holding a series of political forums in August. They are free and open to the public.
|
|
The chamber is in the process of establishing "Question Committees" for each forum. To serve on a Question Committee, you
may not have any significant affiliation with a candidate in that particular race. No significant affiliation means no donations, no yard signs, bumper stickers, Facebook campaigns, etc. for a candidate in that particular race. Simple Facebook "likes" are not considered significant.
Let us know you'd like to serve on a committee by sending an email to
[email protected]
We expect that each committee will meet no more than once. Meetings will most likely be August 12th-15th.
Deadline for signing up for these short term committees in July 26th.

As a chamber member business, if you have a question that you would like asked to any of the groups, please send it via email to
[email protected]
Deadline for submitting questions is July 26th
