Connecting with key stakeholders
Strong relationships with many different organisations
The Chief Executive and Board of Directors of the Chamber regularly consult and meet with key stakeholders locally and nationally to discuss issues of importance and relevance to members and the Dundee & Angus business community.
Whether there is an issue that affects many members, like transportation or infrastructure, or specific issues that a business asks for our support on, it is important that the Chamber maintains strong relationships with many different organisations in order to be able to have a frank and open discussion, or bring different parties together to agree a way forward.
