Bulls Eye View
Public Policy Update from the desk of Bryan Fox, VP of Public Policy
With filing closed for this fall’s Mayor & City Council races, we look forward to helping you engage in these crowded races. And with our Inter-City Visit filling up with many local elected officials & partners and early bird pricing ending today, reach out about sponsorship opportunities even if you can’t join. As additional issues persist, we will keep you updated but remember that many of our priorities are shared by the US Chamber and NC Chamber at the federal and state level respectively, consider getting involved locally by helping fill a vacancy on City & County Boards & Commissions, and continue to reach out anytime.
