“This is an outstanding opportunity for our businesses and residents to have a conversation with our elected representatives on the legislative and policy issues that have a significant impact on their businesses, their employees, their families, and our communities,” says Highland Park Chamber Executive Director Ginny A. Glasner. “The Chamber is dedicated to representing our business’ interests at the local, state and federal level in order to improve the business climate for all businesses to thrive.”
