On March 8-9, Chamber members, community leaders, elected officials, and members of the Excellence and Edge Leadership programs traveled to our state capitol of Montgomery to visit with legislators, tour exhibits telling the story of our state history and learn more about our state government.
The Excellence class started their two-day trip with a tour of the state Capitol and then visited the Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church in downtown Montgomery to learn about the history of the church from tour guide Wanda Battle. Following floor debates and observing both the House and Senate, the group took part in a Q&A session with members of the Morgan County Delegation that included Sen. Arthur Orr, Rep. Terri Collins, Rep. Parker Moore, Rep. Scott Stadthagen and Rep. Proncey Robertson.
