What's New

Labor Day

Labor Day celebrates the women and men who campaigned tirelessly for workers' rights in the labor movement of the late 19th century. Their hard-fought wins are the reason for many of the rights we enjoy and take for granted today, such as a 40-hour work week, safe work conditions, paid time off, and sick leave. It's a patriotic holiday that honors hard working Americans!

The Chamber office will be closed on Monday, September 4, to honor this day.
