Governmental Affairs Update – May 2015

Citizens for Space Exploration is a grassroots space advocacy group. Each year a trip is organized giving attendees an opportunity to meet with members of Congress to share with them the importance of human space exploration and a fully funded NASA budget. This is a self-funded trip scheduled for May 19th through May 22nd. If you are interested in participating in this event, please contact Marcia Gaedcke for further information about registration.

We continue to support and encourage legislation to make affordable health insurance not included under the Affordable Care Act. Representatives from the four Brevard County Chambers went to Tallahassee and met with Senate President Andy Gardiner as well as House Speaker Steve Crisafulli to encourage our legislators to support the Health Florida Works initiative.

Your Governmental Affairs Committee gives members an opportunity to discuss issues and suggest positions for our Board of Directors to take that effect their businesses. If you would like to join this committee, we meet on the third Thursday of each month. Our next meeting is May 21st here at the Chamber at 8:00 am.
