Poligage is pleased to welcome Gene Barr to the Poligage Experts Network.  Gene is the recently retired President and CEO of the Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry, the largest broad-based business advocacy group in Pennsylvania.  He also just completed his third and final term as a member of the U.S. Chamber Board of Directors, offering state-level perspective to the strategy of that national organization.

Check out a short conversation with Gene HERE about the current state of politics and governance in Pennsylvania, as well as how companies can work effectively with partners like chambers of commerce or trade associations to advance their government engagement objectives.  Gene highlights the political changes that this “undeniably purple state” will undergo given election outcomes this fall, as well as the impact those elections may have nationally.
