U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Post

"Economic growth is the most important agenda item that every candidate and elected official should be talking about."   Our President and CEO is right: Economic growth is critical to realizing the American Dream and improving the lives of all Americans. See our Growth and Opportunity Imperative for more: https://lnkd.in/emRnpGg9

How does economic growth affect you? When our economy grows by 3%, someone born today will see America’s economy double in size by the time they are in their early 20s. At 2% growth, it will take until they are in their mid-30s for the economy to double. More growth means increased incomes, expanded opportunities, and an overall better quality of life.

Who’s got next? 🏓 We’re having some summer fun here in D.C. as we celebrate the men and women of our Security, Building Operations, AV, and Events teams! These folks are the unsung heroes who keep the Chamber running. From over 1,000 top-tier meetings and events we host each year, to the tens of thousands of people who come through the Chamber doors, our operations staff work tirelessly to keep our headquarters safe and secure. Their hard work is evident in everything the Chamber does, from greeting guests to facilitating high-level security events with professionalism and efficiency. As Suzanne Clark told the group during the festivities, "Each one of you embodies our Shared Purpose. Collectively, you are a part of the beating heart that powers this organization." It’s true—we can never thank our talented colleagues enough for all that they do. Cheers to an incredible team! 🍹
