Committee Objectives
- To manage and promote the successful execution of no less than four “Friday Business Matters” events in the 2007-08 Chamber fiscal year.

- Provide informative or educational type seminars and workshops to the membership on topics such as best practices, conformity to new or emerging legislation, regulations and/or policies for the benefit of the affected members.
