From the Desk of John Schmitt
Spring is a time of nature’s rebirth; a season of change where we say farewell to the harsh winter weather. I feel confident that we can officially talk about welcoming spring, since they are getting ready to start baseball season.

As we say goodbye to winter, we also need to say goodbye to the difficulties caused by the recession. There is no doubt that it is still a tough climate for our businesses. Unemployment remains problematically high. There is great regulatory uncertainty about the environment going into the future. However, we as the business community must shed the weight of the recession and be prepared to take advantage of the opportunity economic recovery will bring.

The Surprising Solution: Creating Possibility in a Swift and Severe World
The Chamber’s Green Leadership Council invites all members and business leaders to attend their Earth Day Breakfast on Thursday, April 22 with author, corporate strategist and sustainability leader, Dr. Bruce Piasecki. Dr. Piasecki’s talk, Competing in a Carbon and Capital Constrained World: Innovation and Competition in a Swift and Severe World, will provide attendees with ideas about how corporate strategy, social needs, and going green are intersecting in Board rooms and executive offices across the globe.

The Final Push Is On
Thank you to the hundreds of members who have taken a minute to add their voices in support of Naivstar’s relocation and building of a global headquarters to the East Lucent Campus in Lisle. You can watch an informative three minute overview of the project and what it means to the business community by visiting: www.bit.ly/bG4Nh2

U.S. Chamber of Commerce Infrastructure Index Project Workshop Series
You are invited to participate in the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Infrastructure Index Project Workshop Series. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has undertaken the Infrastructure Index project to identify what specifically matters to businesses when it comes to infrastructure. This concrete information is critical to making the best possible case for maintaining, modernizing and expanding the physical platform of the American economy and doing so in a way that makes a difference to our members’ productivity, competitiveness, and profitability.
