Top of Virginia Regional Chamber: The Voice of Business
Apr 28, 2021
We pre-recorded today's conversation with Top of Virginia Regional Chamber CEO Cynthia Schneider and her board Chairman, John Fox to discuss a few chamber programs and learn more about the chamber's mission to be the voice of business.
We talked about the chamber's Public Policy Committee and their new initiative to increase Government procurement from local vendors whenever possible. Read the press release here: https://crhost8.com/wp2/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Chamber-Announces-Procurement-Initiative-for-Local-Government.pdf The purpose of the Public Policy Committee is to educate Chamber members about key public policy issues and to represent their interests before local, state and federal governments and agencies.
We also talked about their Workforce Development Committee and several of the goals they've set for the coming year. The mission of the Chamber Workforce Development Committee is to educate and make available to members the opportunities for them to grow and develop their workforce by accessing the community resources. The Chamber will collaborate with the education community, workforce development agencies, EDA’s, and other resources. This is in addition to the Chamber’s program offerings such as Community Learning Program and the Young Professionals Group.
