Madison, WI – Best Western Premier Park Hotel and Wisconsin State Capitol
The Chippewa Valley Chamber Alliance, which includes the chambers of Chippewa Falls, Menomonie, and Eau Claire, is excited to host this signature event. The Rally brings together regional voices to advocate for critical economic priorities in Madison.
This year, participants will present a unified stance on vital issues such as healthcare, education, workforce attraction and retention, childcare, homelessness, economic development, tax reform, transportation, infrastructure, and energy. We’ll also take the opportunity to express gratitude for the progress made on regional priorities over the past two years. Finalized issue statements will be shared closer to the event date.
What to Expect
Join dozens of business and community leaders in small-group meetings with legislators, a luncheon, and informal conversations with policymakers and staff. The day will also include opportunities to network with others passionate about state policy and regional development. No prior experience is necessary—seasoned participants will lead the legislative meetings.
Schedule
The Rally will run from late morning through early evening, making it possible to travel to Madison in the morning and return home that night. Activities will be held at the State Capitol and the Best Western Premier Park Hotel. Registration includes a keynote luncheon, refreshments, and event materials. Online pre-event briefings will be available to help attendees prepare for the 2025 Rally issues and understand the political landscape.
Once registered, participants will receive updates and detailed plans as they are finalized. Questions can be directed to Scott Rogers, Vice President of Governmental Affairs at the Eau Claire Area Chamber of Commerce, via email at rogers@eauclairechamber.org.
