Thank You to our Sponsors!

The Business and Industry Council was created by the Bristol Chamber of Commerce as a partnership with representatives of local business and industry. Representatives meet each month to discuss current matters of interest to area businesses and industries, such as deregulation of power, international trade, grant writing, tax laws, IT security and workforce development.

The Business & Industry Council announces classes for fall of 2008.

Thanks to our Corporate Sponsor BIC will offer two tracks of classes this fall. Each month you will find opportunities for you and your employees to further develop organizational skill with the Professional Development Series (PDS). If you are new to business or would like to know more about starting your own business, you will want to attend the Business Success Series (BSS). Contact the Bristol Chamber of Commerce for more information.
