Main Street Matters: Bringing Beacon Hill to You

Join the North Shore Chamber, in partnership with the National Federation of Independent Business, the Retailers Association of Massachusetts, and the Massachusetts Restaurant Association, for the Main Street Matters Tour—an exclusive opportunity to connect directly with the voices shaping policy on Beacon Hill.

Small businesses are the backbone of our economy—and your voice matters.

The Main Street Matters Tour brings together business leaders from across the region to discuss the real challenges you’re facing, connect with fellow employers, and gain insight into the latest developments on Beacon Hill.

In the past, we’ve asked you to take time away from your business to advocate at the State House. This year, we’re flipping the script—bringing policymakers and advocacy leaders directly to you.

This is your chance to:

• Engage in meaningful conversation on the issues impacting your business
• Hear directly from leading statewide business advocates
• Understand how you can influence policy decisions that affect your bottom line

While designed with small businesses in mind, this conversation is critical for employers of all sizes.

Key Topics

• Skyrocketing energy costs
• Rising health insurance premiums
• Massachusetts’ tax competitiveness
• Labor mandates and regulatory pressures
• The future of the unemployment insurance system
