The Cumberland County Business Council works to enhance our community
by being the voice for business at the local, state and federal levels
of government. In order to ensure the interests of our members are
truly represented, we attend numerous meetings of the Fayetteville City
Council and the Cumberland County Board of Directors throughout the
year and report important information discussed at these meetings to
our members. We also maintain a presence at the state General Assembly
during the legislative session and have teamed with the City and County
to retain a federal lobbying firm to represent our interests at the
federal level.

With over 150 community leaders in attendance, the Chamber hosted its
first "Long Session" Eggs 'n Issues Legislative Breakfast on February
9, 2007. The event, sponsored by Fayetteville State University,
featured Senator Tony Rand and Representatives William Brisson,
Margaret Dickson and Marvin Lucas.
The second Eggs'n Issues will be held in June, near the end of the "Long Session." Details will follow at a later date.
