The Lubbock Chamber of Commerce will host a State Legislative Forum on Thurs., Sept. 29, from 7-11:30 a.m., at the Overton Hotel and Conference Center in conjunction with and preceding the State of the Texas Tech System Luncheon.
In a half-day session, the State Legislative Forum connects local business leaders to top state lawmakers to discuss key West Texas issues.
Texas enjoys a healthy economic environment, especially after the last Texas State Legislative Session. To ensure that remains the case, solid business influence and advocacy must take place even between sessions. This forum offers an opportunity to join in on the discussions and support the Lubbock Chamber’s advocacy efforts.
The State Legislative Forum will feature elected officials from across Texas, as well as Lubbock’s very own Senator Charles Perry, Representative John Frullo and Representative Dustin Burrows. The forum will be held in conjunction with the State of the Texas Tech System Luncheon at 11:45 a.m. that same day.
The Lubbock Chamber of Commerce represents over 2,000 businesses and over 79,000 employees on the South Plains which accounts for over $2 billion in annual household earnings in Lubbock and West Texas. The Chamber has twice earned the distinguished 5-Star Accreditation from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and is a two-time Chamber of the Year recognized by the Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives.
