  State Advocacy Day &
State Legislators Recognition Reception

 

Wednesday, June 18, 2008
Location: Sheraton Grand Sacramento / State Capitol Building / Mason's Restaurant

The State Advocacy Day program is modeled after the Metro Chamber’s successful Capitol-to-Capitol federal advocacy program. The Metro Chamber applies the same strategy of regional cooperation to advocacy at the state level because we strongly believe that the issues being discussed in the State Capitol significantly influence the economy and quality of life of residents and employers in the six-county Sacramento region. State Advocacy Day directly supports our ongoing policy work at the local, regional, state and federal levels.

This day long program concludes with a State Legislators Recognition Reception at Mason's Restaurant.

Each year, the Metro Chamber provides a platform to address important regional issues in a way that opens a multi-dimensional discussion around impediments, challenges, opportunities and cooperative region wide solutions.

The State of the Region Forum has become an annual function that brings together elected officials and industry sector experts to discuss and help develop solutions to regional infrastructure concerns and quality of life issues. In years past, topics have included land use, housing, flood protection, transportation and clean energy technology.
