As we countdown to the Metro Chamber’s 20th Study Mission program, it is no coincidence that is the destination. From October 9-12, participants will be immersed in Brooklyn’s businesses as well as the borough itself. The subject might be Brooklyn, but the outcomes are all Sacramento. Each day’s agenda embodies the key elements of the Metro Chamber’s 4 Point Business Promise - Strong Business, Vibrant Community, Connected Regions and Ready Workforce. We are Brooklyn bound.
