Coffee & Conversation: Building Business Bridges to Government
Second in a four-part series with Massachusetts regulators and legislators
TCI intends to help our members and sponsors build networks of access to important government decision-makers who affect their businesses through engaging in thoughtful dialogue and discussion outside the contentious scenes of regulation and legislation. These are opportunities to see how public officials think about their duties and understand their approaches to interpreting laws which they administer, and see the countervailing pressures they weigh.
"Government mandates and regulations are a large cost factor and I intend to be involved as much as I can in representing the business point of view."
That's what one TCI member said about her outlook and goals for 2010. To that end, we are pleased to present a coffee and breakfast series for 2010 - "Building Business Bridges to Government"
The speaker for our May 4th event is Massachusetts State Representative Kay Khan.
Location TBD, 8:00-9:30 AM
Kay Khan is the State Representative for the 11th Middlesex District, which includes Newton Lower Falls, Auburndale, Waban, West Newton, Newtonville, Newton Corner and parts of Newton Centre. The district includes 14 of Newton's 31 precincts. Kay is serving her eighth term in office and is the longest-serving current state legislator from Newton. During the 2006 election Kay ran unopposed, however, in 2004 she was in a contested race, and won with 73.3% of the vote. Throughout her career in the legislature, she has been a leading voice on providing affordable and compassionate health care, public education, affordable housing and human services. She has a record of strong support for improved transportation and a healthier environment and has been the legislature's leading advocate for progressive policies for incarcerated individuals including women and their children.
Space is limited and is open only to current TCI members, sponsors, and Corporate Advisory Board members. Limit one ticket per company.
