Th
e featured speaker for this event is Senator Jen Metzger

nd
District, a largely rural district in the Hudson Valley and Catskills that includes all of Sullivan County, and parts of Orange, Ulster, and the towns of Hamden. Walton, Downsville Tompkins and Delhi in Delaware Counties.
Prior to her election, she served for over a decade in local government, and also directed an organization fighting for fairer utility rates and a clean energy economy that creates good local jobs. She brings to the State Senate a much needed local-level perspective on the challenges faced by our rural communities, a commitment to improving the lives and opportunities of the residents in her district, and a track record of working with people of diverse perspectives to get things done.
This event is sponsored by Wayne Bank.

Chamber Now Offers Health Care Options!
Providing quality healthcare for employees can be a
challenge.
Our members tell us that healthcare is a top concern for
their businesses. That's why the Delaware County Chamber has partnered with
the Small Association Leadership Alliance (SALA) to allow our members
access to a comprehensive and cost-effective alternative to traditional
insurance plans. The SALA Healthcare Program offers two preventative care plans
with a medical cost sharing program covering unexpected or catastrophic events.
Participants can expect to save as up to 60% when compared to traditional group
health insurance. Prescription drug and telemedicine programs are also
included. The SALA Healthcare Program helps businesses, who are unable to
provide group health insurance, offer their employees access to affordable,
high quality healthcare.
For more information visit us online at delawarecounty.org.
