SUMMARY:2022 Municipal Election Consultation – Seeking Members To Participate
DESCRIPTION:
	As the Hamilton Chamber of Commerce looks to the 2022 Municipal
	 Election happening on October 24\, it is time to prepare our election adv
	ocacy campaign strategy. The Chamber will execute an engagement and consul
	tation exercise with our membership to exchange in dialogue and robust con
	versation about key policy issues important to their operations. From ther
	e\, a combination of those findings and existing policy priorities will be
	 synthesized into key messages that the Chamber will broadcast over the co
	urse of the municipal campaign to draw candidates’ attention to these is
	sues and compel them to comment on plans to support local businesses and H
	amilton’s economy. To begin this process\, the Chamber is inviting membe
	rs to sign up for one of six one-hour consultation opportunities taking pl
	ace between August 15 – September 1 to provide feedback and contribution
	s that will inform our 2022 municipal election advocacy strategy. At this 
	early stage\, we currently have a “Ready for Business” ethos in mind. 
	Following the past few challenging years\, this campaign speaks to where t
	he Hamilton economy is going and will help to inform what Hamilton busines
	ses need from their municipal leaders to succeed and grow their operations
	. Are you interested in participating in the consultation process? Do you 
	have any pressing municipal issues affecting your business operations? Wha
	t matters to you and the success of your business this upcoming municipal 
	election? Please contact our Events Manager\, Julia Freeman at j.freeman@h
