Advocacy

* Government Affairs - Patrick Giesbrecht, Chair
* Training, Retention, Ambassadors, Membership (TRAM) - Pat Sapielak

By participating on one (or more) of the Chamber's Committees you open opportunities to influence government, work on the development of Chamber policies, programs and procedures and to work with a great team of like-minded Chamber members.
