2025 Chamber Luncheon- Legislative Update

Join us for our Monthly Luncheon for the Bastrop Chamber of Commerce, an excellent opportunity to meet and network with your fellow Chamber members!

LEGISLATIVE UPDATE from Glenn Hamer
President, Texas Association of Business

Glenn will share updates from the 89th Texas Legislative session.
Glenn Hamer has a proven track record for success in the public policy arena. He testified before the 87^th Legislature, second day on the job, and made meaningful contributions to the passage of top legislative priorities for the business community, and preventing astronomical increases in Unemployment Insurance. Since the pandemic, Glenn has made it his mission to visit more local chambers of commerce than anyone else on the planet. He connects businesses, small and large, with lawmakers on both sides of the aisle to protect Texas’ pro-business climate.

Programming Guidelines
Programming is informational in nature and of general interest to Chamber Members and community members who attend.

Luncheon Programming and Sponsors are determined in the fall of each year for the following calendar year.
The Monthly Luncheon cannot be a fundraising opportunity for organizations.
Requests to make an announcement during the Program will be considered at the discretion of the President. Any request must be submitted in writing and discussed with the President at least one week prior to the Luncheon.
The Monthly Luncheon is a networking opportunity, so members may still hand out items personally to individuals at the luncheons for networking purposes or at the designated general information table.
The ability to hand out literature/promotional items on the luncheon tables is reserved exclusively for the Bastrop Chamber of Commerce, the luncheon Title Sponsor, and the luncheon speaker. No other handouts, information, gift items, or literature can be placed on the luncheon tables. If any is found, the member will be asked to remove them.

Exceptions to any of these guidelines require approval from the Board of Directors.
