Government: It's Your Business New Year Reception

The Bedford County Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs committee is pleased to present this New Year Reception.
Local, state, and federal representatives — up close, accessible, and part of our community.
Join the Bedford County Chamber of Commerce for an evening of Community Conversations: Building Bridges Together — a relaxed networking event bringing together local business leaders, community members, and elected officials from county, state, and federal government.
This is your opportunity to connect directly with the people who represent you, in a welcoming, informal setting. Enjoy delicious appetizers, beverages and valuable networking while sharing your ideas, and engaging in friendly dialogue about the issues that matter most to our community.
No speeches, just conversations — building stronger connections, one handshake at a time.
