Partners and Allies:

I wanted to make you aware of an upcoming event regarding immigration policies and their impact on talent recruitment and retention. This invitation is open to you, your staff and companies in your community. This is a great line up of panelists and speakers. Please pass the word.

Businesses must have access to the workers they need in order to  grow and create the jobs necessary for revitalizing our economy. The Greater Raleigh Area Chamber of Commerce and the Partnership for a New American Economy invite you to engage in this in-depth look at how current policies are affecting our nation’s economy. National expert Richard Herman and a panel of local business leaders will  present on how smarter policies will effectively help businesses
expand, create American jobs, and keep the talent we need in our community.
