The Main Street Matters Tour is an exclusive opportunity to connect directly with the voices shaping policy on Beacon Hill.
The Chamber was thrilled to bring this opportunity to the North Shore, working in partnership with the National Federation of Independent Business, the Retailers Association of Massachusetts, and the Massachusetts Restaurant Association. Policy makers, business owners and community members gathered at Spinelli’s on Wednesday, May 6, 2026, for this special event.
Moderated by Chamber President & CEO Karen Andreas, the panel of speakers included Christopher Carlozzi, Massachusetts State Director, NFIB; Jon Hurst, President & CEO, Retailers Association of Massachusetts; and Jessica Moore, Director of Government Affairs, Massachusetts Restaurant Association.
Attendees engaged in this meaningful conversation on issues impacting business and heard directly from leading statewide business advocates. Key topics included the rise in energy costs, the state’s tax competitiveness, and the future of the unemployment system.
