Today we had a fascinating tour of Mail Services in Urbandale, one of our larger members who specialize in sorting and mailing pieces for businesses. The Chamber started organizing tours as a way to engage Public Officials into our area business community. We wanted to begin dialogue between the two groups so when issues come up that impact area businesses, our public officials, on every level, can fully understand the impacts to local business.
Today was a perfect example of how the Chamber can make a difference to our members. In attendance was Congressman Boswell, Senator Brad Zaun, Mayor Robert Andeweg, School Board Member Adam Obrecht, as well as staff members from Congressman Harkin and Congressman Grassley's office.
Once Mail Services presented to the group as to what they do and what makes them unique, the time turned to Q&A where our Public Officials asked questions.
The Chamber is setting up tours for other member businesses throughout the year to continue connecting business and government. Thank you to our Public Officials who participated today and to Mail Services for hosting everyone. It is so important to continue to connect and the Chamber is proud assist in these efforts by organizing these tours.
