CSRA Leadership Trip |
|
|
 The CSRA Leadership annual trip to Washington is a collaborative effort between the North Augusta, Aiken, Augusta, and Columbia County Chambers of Commerce. This trip identifies approximately fifty regional leaders to make the trek to our nation's capital for two days.
Prior to the trip, the Chambers gather information on federal issues that will need to be addressed. White Papers are written outlining the issue and our position. These can range from new missions for the Savannah River Site and Fort Gordon to other economic development issues that are affecting our economy.
During the trip, the delegation meets with the Congressional delegations and staffers from both South Carolina and Georgia. In addition, trips are made to those government agencies such as the Department of Energy and the Pentagon.
The trip also offers the opportunity for business and governmental leaders from both sides of the river to become better acquainted and lay the groundwork for cooperative efforts to address our needs and opportunities as a region.
Date for the 2008 trip are April 23-25. For more information, contact the Chamber. |
