On this week's Back in Session episode, the Ryans are joined by special guest Jon Anzur, Vice President of Public Affairs for the Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry. They discuss Jon's path to the Chamber, including his experience working campaigns and on the Hill in DC. They also discuss what issues the Chamber is working on and highlight some policy successes. And with March Madness coming up soon, they also touch on the Chamber's upcoming "Coolest Thing Made in PA" bracket challenge.
About the PA Chamber of Business and Industry:
- The Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry—the Statewide Voice of BusinessTM —was founded on Dec. 16, 1916 by a group of more than 100 influential business leaders from across the Commonwealth who recognized the need for a unified voice for business in the halls of the state Capitol. Our mission is to advocate for job creation and lead Pennsylvania to greater prosperity for its residents.
- Headquartered in Harrisburg, and with staff in Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Lehigh Valley and Hazleton, today’s PA Chamber is the largest broad-based business association in Pennsylvania. Our membership comprises close to 10,000 member businesses of all sizes and industry sectors throughout the state—from sole proprietors to Fortune 100 companies—representing nearly 50 percent of the private workforce in the Commonwealth.
- Business advocacy is at the heart of our work. With a full-time staff of experienced business lobbyists, an active political action committee, legislative issue work groups and grassroots action network, the PA Chamber serves as the frontline advocate for business growth in the state Capitol.
