The Outer Banks Chamber of Commerce, The East Carolina Bank, The Willey Agency, and Comfort Inn North, would like to know what issues our business owners and managers have on their minds. We encourage you to take the time to answer the questions below, questions we will be discussing at the upcoming Elected Officials Forum, 8:00 am, Tuesday, March 23, 2010 at the Comfort Inn North, Kill Devil Hills and at the Viewpoint 2010 8 am, Monday, April 19, 2010 at the Ramada Plaza, Kill Devil Hills. Cost to attend these breakfast programs are $20 each or $35 when registering for both (Outer Banks Chamber Member Price) or $25 Each for non-members. To register, call the Chamber office at (252)441-8144 or submit the registration form below and request billing (Chamber members only).
We also realize that the questions below do not reflect all the issues important to our community at this time. We have, however, eliminated questions which we have asked before with unanimous results. Updates on those issues, progress made to date are being consolidated into a publication prepared by the Outer Banks Sentinel titled What is On Your Mind . Please take a moment to review this publication.
Again, thank you for taking the time to answer the questions below regarding issues in our community. We hope to see you at the 2010 Legislative Programs on March 23rd at the Comfort Inn North and April 19th at the Ramada Plaza.
