As you probably read, last week was a big week in Greeley and an opportunity for Weld County and the Greeley Area Chamber to have continued dialogue with Governor Polis focusing on the strengths of our community and issues affecting our industries.
Three weeks ago, the Governor asked Chambers from across the state to gather in Denver for a conversation. This listening session stemmed from the request for further dialogue and was only his second in the state. The focus was to discuss the last Legislative Session and forecast business concerns for the future. We raised concerns over oil and gas, agriculture, healthcare, transportation, water, education and workforce. Our partners in the Northern Colorado Legislative Alliance helped amplify our regional voice.
The conversation at each table centered around what we can do in the spirit of collaboration. Much of the meaningful work we all engage in happens at the local level, with the state playing an important role.
The Chamber prides itself on being a catalyst, a convener and champion of business and will continue to work with our elected officials and partners in bringing important issues to the table.
What we all know definitively, our voices are always stronger together!
To the great that awaits!
