CBIA membership survey in field soon; responses will shape agenda for 2009
(Sept. 8, 2008) Every year, CBIA surveys its members on a wide range of issues shaping their ability to compete and succeed in Connecticut. This year's Annual Membership Survey will be in the field soon — members should look for it and complete it as soon as they can because their responses will help determine CBIA's public policy agenda for 2009.
Of course, CBIA members can contact us throughout the year with any ideas they may have for strengthening our economy and making it easier for businesses to compete and succeed here. Our public policy staff works with state legislators and officials to help shape specific laws and to promote a regulatory system that responds to businesses’ needs.
Here are the CBIA staff that members should contact to share their perspectives on policy issues and learn what’s happening in state government:
