The Chamber’s New Health Plan: More Options for Members
3

Access to quality healthcare is important to the wellbeing of our workforce and the strength of our local business community. That’s why The Chamber is pleased to partner with The Northwest Chamber Coalition for a new healthcare plan for Chamber members.
3

The plan is designed to give eligible members another option to explore as they consider coverage for themselves, their employees, and their families. We know every business has different needs and budgets, so we encourage members to review the plan details, compare options and ask questions before deciding. Our goal is to help members connect with information about accessible, affordable coverage and make choices that work for them. For plan details and eligibility information, talk to your agent to review the coverage, costs, provider network, and terms to determine whether the plan fits your needs. All our member agents will be invited to offer the plan.
3

This fall, we also encourage everyone in our community to VOTE! Local and State voting can shape the environment in which businesses and families live and work. Learn about the candidates and issues, complete your ballot (and drop it off.)
3

As part of our civic engagement, the Chamber’s Political Action Committee (PAC) has endorsed five candidates based on questionnaires and interviews and their interest and support of the business community. We invite members to review the PAC’s endorsements in this newsletter. These endorsements reflect the PAC’s process and priorities; members are always encouraged to make their own informed decisions at the ballot box.
3

Our Chamber is strongest when members have useful resources, a voice in civic life and opportunities to participate. We look forward to sharing more information about the healthcare plan, helping members explore their options, and supporting an informed, engaged business community.

Sincerely,
