U.S. Chamber President Tom Donohue to address MCCE
Thomas J. Donohue is president and CEO of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Since assuming his position in 1997, Donohue has built the Chamber into a lobbying and political powerhouse with expanded influence across the globe. During Donohue’s tenure, the Chamber’s lobbyists, policy experts, legal advocates, and communicators have helped secure business victories on Capitol Hill, in the regulatory agencies, in politics, in courts of law and in the court of public opinion, and before governments around the world.
As President Obama embarks on his second term, Mr. Donohue will share the outlook for American business, and how local chambers of commerce are critical in advocating for free enterprise across the county.
