b'MY JOURNEY WITH THE CHAMBER HAS TAKEN ME THROUGH A MULTITUDE OF AREAS, INCLUDING ADVOCACY, TALENT DEVELOPMENT, DE&I AND LEADERSHIP. IVE BEEN KNEE-DEEP IN THE CHAMBERS ADVOCACY AND GOVERNMENT RELATIONS EFFORTS FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW AND, BELIEVE ME, THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART. WE CELEBRATE OUR SMALL WINS YEAR AFTER YEAR AS INDIVIDUAL BILLS MAKE THEIR WAY TO VICTORY. AMONG THE INITIATIVES I CHERISH MOST ARE THE LOWCOUNTRY RAPID TRANSIT, UNION PIER DEVELOPMENT AND THE PERIMETER PROTECTION WALL. THESE ARE GAME-CHANGING, ONCE-IN-A-GENERATION PROJECTS.DAVID STASIUKAITIS,CEO, LOW COUNTRY CASE & MILLWORK INCOMING CHAIRMAN OF THE 2024 CHAMBER POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE25'
