23rd Annual Chippewa Valley Rally Recap:
Representing our community's voice in Madison on January 25
Last Wednesday, nearly 80 Chippewa Valley business and community leaders braved the weather to bring key regional economic issues to the attention of state policy makers in Madison.
Participants in the 23rd Annual Chippewa Valley Rally heard addresses by Governor Scott Walker and Lt. Governor Rebecca Kleefisch, visited more than 100 offices of State Senators and Representatives, and interacted with representatives of the UW System, Dept. of Workforce Development, Department of Transportation, and the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation. The event was organized by the Chippewa Valley Chamber Alliance, a joint effort of the Chippewa Falls, Eau Claire and Menomonie chambers of commerce.
You can read the 2017 Rally Issues Booklet, which emphasized thanks for state funding for the Confluence Project, Education priorities, Transportation funding, and continued efforts to address workforce challenges. Click here for photos from the Rally.

At each table everyone will be asked to share business cards and give a short infomercial on their business/services. By the time lunch is over, each attendee will have gained 15+ business contacts.
