Last week, the Chamber hosted an all day “Connecting Business with Government” program for the 2008 Boston’s Future Leaders class.  This customized session was held at Suffolk University Sawyer Business School and it explored government functions at the state, local, and federal level as they relate to business interests.  The day’s goal was to help participants gain a better understanding of how to effectively work with government as a partner, and advance public policy issues as business leaders.  Participants had the opportunity to hear from a wide-range of speakers including Peter Meade, communications and public affairs strategist for Rasky Baerlein Strategic Communications; Paul Connolly, first vice president and COO of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston; and Charlie Baker, president and CEO of Harvard Pilgrim Health Care.
