Infrastructure Index Project: Workshop Series

As a member of the business community many issues can affect your bottom line, your ability to compete domestically and internationally, and grow. More often the issues that are top of mind are taxes, healthcare, and regulation. The Chamber agrees, but we believe one more issue should be added to that list: infrastructure. Infrastructure – transportation, energy, broadband, and water systems—gives American businesses opportunities to grow and compete, but at the same time it can be a risk, a limitation, or even a roadblock.

To make the case for improving and increasing investment in infrastructure, the Chamber is creating tools to show how infrastructure is important to the business community and the overall economic health of our nation.

We need your help. If you are based in or near Atlanta, Houston or San Jose, or your company has an office or a facility there, join us for free lunch and a discussion on how you use infrastructure to keep costs low, be competitive, and grow. Workshop dates, times, and locations as well as a sample agenda are below.

Please RSVP by contacting Andrew Brady at abrady@uschamber.com.

Questions? E-mail Janet Kavinoky at jkavinoky@uschamber.com or Murphie Barrett at mbarrett@uschamber.com. We hope to see you there.
