As Auditor\, DiZoglio will share insights on these efforts\, the challenges of confronting institutional resistance\, and why transparency matters to Massachusetts business communities and taxpayers alike. \nJoin The Chamber for a compelling keynote that connects government oversight with the business climate and economic confidence across the Commonwealth. \n  \nPRICING\n(Note: Tickets are nonrefundable) \nMembers: $80\nNon-members: $100 \nQuestions: Please contact Cheryl Begin\, Vice President\, Membership\, at 978-774-8565\, ext. 1\, or by email at cheryl.begin@northshorechamber.org. \nThursday\, March 19\, 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.\nBoston Marriott Peabody\n8A Centennial Drive\nPeabody
