Chamber Hosts 2026 Washington Update with Congressman Dale W. Strong

Congressman Dale W. Strong joined the Chamber on October 6 at the DoubleTree by Hilton Decatur Riverfront for our 2026 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 transportation, workforce development, rising costs and opportunities for north Alabama. We also had time to hear from the audience and take questions.

We appreciate Chamber Board Chair-Elect Todd Bullard with 3M for welcoming everyone, Reverend Chase Ackerman for leading the invocation, Coach Candace Byrd with Calhoun Community College for her beautiful performance of the National Anthem and Morgan County Commission Chairman Ray Long for introducing Congressman Strong.

We appreciate Congressman Strong taking the time to keep us informed on the work being done on our behalf in Washington, D.C. Thank you to our presenting sponsor TTL, Inc. and gold sponsors Breland Companies, Enersolv Corporation and United Launch Alliance.
