LETTER FROM BRYAN SLONE: PRESIDENT - NE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE & INDUSTRY

Dear NE Chamber Members:

In January, the NE Chamber came to you and state leaders with a bold set of priorities designed to fuel Nebraska’s post-pandemic recovery and build a strong foundation for future growth. Our commitments focus on rebuilding – moving out-of-work Nebraskans back into jobs, addressing hard-hit sectors, and taking a hard look at legislative actions that can aid recovery.

Another cornerstone of these priorities are the 15 pro-growth initiatives outlined in the Blueprint Nebraska report. Developed with input from more than 7,000 Nebraskans across the state, the report identified an urgent need for new approaches to recruit and keep young talent and families, foster more in-state business expansion, and attract more growth companies.

That brings us to today, 48 days into the 2021 legislative session and nearly one year into a global pandemic. When we announced our Back to Business Priorities, we promised transparency and determination. We already have much to report by way of progress.

Please see the report we’ve prepared on our top priorities.

And as always, do not hesitate to reach out to us with questions, and thank you for your ongoing investment in our mission to promote and protect Nebraska’s free enterprise system by ensuring a competitive business climate, economic and community growth and greater prosperity for all Nebraskans.

Back to Business Mid-Session Report

Regards,

Bryan Slone President
