State chamber retail conference set for June 18-
The Delaware State Chamber of
Commerce and the Delaware Re-
tail Council are linking retailers
and legislators at the End-Of-Ses-
sion Legislative Brunch and An-
nual Retail Conference, June 18,
at the Dover Sheraton in Dover.
The joint event gives the two
groups the opportunity to share
their issues, efforts and goals.
Legislators and retailers will be
joined by business leaders and
elected and appointed officials at
the brunch and conference, which
is sponsored by Coventry Health
Care of Delaware, ShopRites of
Delaware, the Delaware Econom-
ic Development Office and Yel-
low Book. This event is modeled
after the successful Spring Leg-
islative Brunch and Annual Man-
ufacturing Celebration, which at-
tracted more than 250 attendees in
April.
The retail conference begins at
8:30 a.m., with networking and
tabletop exhibits. A highlight of
the morning is the keynote ad-
dress by Elizabeth Treanor,-Na-
tional Retail Federation (NRF)
government affairs counsel. As a
member of NRF's.lobbying team,
Treanor's primary legislative re-
sponsibilities include banking,
bankruptcy reform, legal reform,
sales-tax simplification, technolo-
gy and consumer privacy, among
other issues. Following Treanor's
address there will be a panel dis-
cussion on employee fraud.
The brunch immediately fol-
lows the retail conference and will
feature speakers Senate President
Pro Tempore Thurman Adams and
Speaker of the House Terry
Spence, who will discuss their
legislative agendas for the re-
mainder of the General Assembly.
After the brunch, retailers and
other state chamber members will
visit Legislative Hall and meet
with selected officials.

"The retail experience is so in-
tegrally woven into the fabric of
our daily lives that it is easy to
take this valuable sector of the
economy for granted," said state
chamber President and CEO
Suzanne C. Moore. "How often
as we go about our daily routine
of stopping by the supermarket or
drugstore or contemplate the pur-
chase of clothes, cars and comput-
ers, do we stop and think about
the contribution that retailers
make to both our daily lives and
the economy? That's one of the
goals of the End-of-Session Leg-
chamber adds
islative Brunch and Retail Confer-
ence - to turn the spotlight on
Delaware's retail industry and to
give our retail members another
opportunity to interact with legis-
lators."
Registration is $35 for state
chamber members and $45 for
nonmembers. Registrants can at-
tend one or both portions of the
program. Sponsorships and table-
top exhibits are available. For
