Vistage Worldwide, Inc.

Vistage is proud to advocate for small and midsize businesses through our ongoing partnership with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. At this year’s Vistage on the Hill event, select award-winning members joined us in Washington, D.C., for discussions with Chamber policy experts. These face-to-face meetings provided our members the opportunity to share their experiences and perspectives to help influence legislation. Chamber experts, in turn, briefed members on crucial issues, such as small business policy, labor, AI, and trade. We're committed to ensuring the voices of our members are heard where it matters most. Watch the video for a glimpse into this year's sixth annual Vistage on the Hill event and the power of partnership. Read the full story: https://bit.ly/3YWpVOf
