Chamber to hold Business Issues
Election Forum
The 2011 General Election is fast
approaching. There are a number of local issues the region
is facing which mean the candidates’ views will be
important. On the evening of November 2nd the Hawke’s
Bay Chamber of Commerce is hosting an election forum for
the business community to hear from, and quiz candidates on
their business policies.
‘We have invited the main party candidates in the two Hawke’s Bay seats of Napier and Tukituki to present their opinions on issues impacting on the Bay and the business community in particular ‘ said Chamber CEO Murray Douglas.’ Too often regional issues get swamped in the New Zealand wide election, what we want to hear is how a local candidate is going to very specifically help Hawke’s Bay grow and develop.’
The event format allows for businesspeople to meet with candidates informally both before and after the forum with a series of set questions derived from the business community in a formal 45 min session.
