The entire business community is invited to meet with elected officials before they head to Richmond for the 2016 legislative session. This event is open to all businesses in the region to attend.

“There is incredible economic opportunity in the Prince William region.

Our region has one of the most influential delegations to the General Assembly and we are excited to share our 2016 legislative priorities with them.” Brendon Shaw, Prince William Chamber of Commerce Director of Government Relations, was quoted as saying in a press release.

To date, Senator George Barker, Senator-Elect Scott Surovell, Senator-Elect Jeremy McPike, Delegate Scott Lingamfelter, Delegate Richard Anderson, and Delegate Luke Torian have confirmed plans to attend. All members of the Prince William delegation to Virginia’s General Assembly have been invited.
