MACE 2015 Regional Policy Conference
Event Sponsors
This jampacked and hard-hitting conference is for the serious policy minded chamber executive and/or public affairs staff members. With the policy landscape ever-changing, staying up-to-date on the key economic development issues of the Midwest are important for chambers of commerce. If you are looking to take your public policy program to a new level this event is a must attend.
New this year based on a request by many local chambers is the first-ever political boot camp. This additional half-day bonus session is targeted to those chambers with a political program wanting to take it to a new level, as well as those execs who are contemplating political action or political education for the first time. The event will help you identify the key elements of effective policy program and will provide in-depth briefings on a variety of topics of interest including economic development, regulatory environment, transportation, national trade policy and much more.
