The Greenbrier Chamber Of Commerce encourages you to look into the 2010 ballot issues, if you have not already done so.  Two out of the three proposed amendments will directly affect local businesses.“One of the Chamber’s roles is to act as an advocate for the local business community in every level of government,” said Amie Regester, executive director of The Greenbrier Chamber. “We are non-partisan and pro-business which means we are interested in advancing issues that are good for business and will support our local and regional economies.”
