Chamber Hosts 2025 Washington Update with Congressman Dale W. Strong

Congressman Dale W. Strong joined the Chamber on September 25 at the DoubleTree by Hilton Decatur Riverfront for our 2025 Washington Update. More than 150 members of the business community gathered for a one-on-one discussion with Congressman Strong and Wade Weaver, Chairman of the Chamber’s Public Policy Committee.

Topics ranged from infrastructure and workforce initiatives to the opportunities Space Command will bring to North Alabama and Decatur-Morgan County. We appreciate Congressman Strong taking the time to keep us informed on the work being done on our behalf in Washington, D.C.

A special thank you to Chamber Board Chair Kelli Powers for opening the program, Reverend Chase Ackerman for leading the invocation, Calhoun Community College Women’s Basketball Coach Candace Byrd for her beautiful performance of the National Anthem, Morgan County Commissioner Randy Vest for introducing Congressman Strong, and Wade Weaver of Adams Beverages for serving as moderator.
