2010 Capitol-to-Capitol Event

POWERFUL IMPACT: THE VOICE OF BUSINESS IN OUR NATION'S CAPITOL

Since 1895, Metro Chamber volunteers have worked to improve the economy and enhance the quality of life in the greater Sacramento region. The annual Cap-to-Cap effort is one of many Metro Chamber activities that brings the region's business, labor and government leaders together to build consensus for important regional priorities. 

Cap-to-Cap is the largest local chamber of commerce program of its kind in the nation. More than 280 delegates participated in 2009. This year, volunteers working on 13 policy teams will bring the region's top issues to our nation's leaders. You can join them!

Date: April 17-21, 2010
Location: Washington, D.C.
