2016 Montgomery Trip
Event Sponsors
The Chamber's annual Montgomery Trip to the State Capitol is designed to advance the Chamber's State Agenda and provide an opportunity to meet with key leaders in state government. Previous trips have included meetings with members of the Governor's Cabinet and the leadership of the Alabama Legislature. Local business and elected leaders find it to be an excellent opportunity to network with other community leaders and familiarize themselves with Montgomery and our critical state issues. This is an overnight stay.
