• Provided a platform for cooperation in dealing with common challenges
• Discussions about current events at the State Capitol help to inform all attendees what is going on and how it will affect them

• Sponsored by the City of Burlington Chamber of Commerce

• Held when Legislature is in session and during budget deliberations
• Elected officials are the invitees
• All participants help to put the agendas together
