2010 Annual General Meeting
This is your invitation to participate in the Alberta Chambers policy development process prior to and during the Chambers' Annual General Meeting in Lethbridge May 13 - 15, 2010.
One of the reasons the Alberta Chambers has realized such success influencing public policy relates is due to its commitment to finding constructive solutions to business issues that can be supported by a majority of MLAs. Obtaining that support reflects the behind-the-scenes work done by Chambers at the local level and your ability to develop those issues into provincial and nationally focused policies.
In the months leading to the resolutions deadline, we encourage you to talk with your membership about the issues that affect business activity in your community. Find out if there are any common concerns that are provincial or national in nature and could be presented as a policy issue to the Alberta Chambers. If you are short on staff resources or lack the research expertise to fully develop your own views, consider teaming up with other Chambers of Commerce.
The Alberta Chambers of Commerce also has discussion forums on its website should representatives in your Chamber wish to begin a dialogue with other Chambers on any given policy issue.
In order to get more information on how you can take part in ACC's policy development process, please contact Terri Kemball at the Alberta Chambers office at 780.425.4180, ext. 6, or toll free in Alberta at 1.800.272.8854.
Deadline for policy submissions is February 22, 2010.
