Chairman's Message The Chamber has an action-packed month which allows members to get involved and informed. We have been very active in governmental affairs and the Chamber was able to secure U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein. This is a great opportunity for members to engage with Senator Feinstein and ensure the voice of the Riverside business community is heard in Washington D.C. about a range of policy areas including job growth, healthcare, transportation and infrastructure, and more. To assist our members in understanding the issues and opportunities in our state, the Chamber is hosting the Legislative Summit with keynote speaker California Transportation Secretary Brian Kelly to address local infrastructure. Specifically, the region will receive approximately $500 million in transportation and infrastructure dollars, thus creating new jobs, reinforcing local highways and roads, and creating a better quality of life for residents. Members can engage in discussions with Secretary Kelly about how these funds will benefit local businesses and spur a new era of growth and development. To ensure the voice of the business community is supported locally, the Chamber applauds Steve Adam’s City Council appointment to Ward 7. His prior experience as a three-term councilman and business-friendly track record made Adams a clear choice. By supporting his appointment and continuing to companion efforts to nominate and elect business-friendly officials for public office, the Chamber takes strides to promote the business community and the Riverside community at large. In closing, I urge the business community to stay engaged to make their voices heard. Engaging our region’s lawmakers gives you the opportunity to be a voice in the business community. The Chamber, in conjunction with businesses and other local organizations collaborating together, strengthens the voice of our region and allows any challenges and opportunities to be heard to promote a better quality of life and business environment of all. The Chamber will continue keeping you informed and advocating on your behalf for business-friendly policies.  |
