The conference has a full schedule of business leaders speaking on strategic planning, business development, collaborative partnerships, and the Chambers' role in education, health care and transportation.

We hope you take advantage of this opportunity to transform the HSCC towards being the Voice of the Business Community.  You will also enjoy lively conversation with local and state business leaders, elected officials, and help formulate the 2011 Business Plan for the Holly Springs Chamber of Commerce.
