What is an Advocacy in Action Session?
One of the Chamber’s key roles is to advocate on behalf of the Whistler business community. Our power packed Advocacy in Action Sessions presented by TD are designed for our Members to let us know where to take action.
These sessions are FREE for Members and are a great chance to discuss important issues, with the format alternating between specific focus topics and general round table discussions. Snacks and refreshments are provided.
These in-person sessions are an opportunity to speak frankly and let your Chamber know how we can make business better for you.
Spaces are limited so, please pre-register.
Join us, and learn how your voice does make a difference!
