Local legislators will give an update from the 2016 Missouri General Assembly at an upcoming Chamber of Commerce event.

According to St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce Vice President of Membership Natalie Redmond, St. Joe Rising is a quarterly event.

“They are typically held on government relation or community issues that are important to the business community as well as the community at large,” Redmond said. “We have different topics such as legislative updates from items going on in Jeff City to hot topics in the community. The last one we did covered the school board candidates and it was a forum.”

Thursday’s event will feature local legislators speaking on the recent session.

“We are going to be doing our next St. Joe Rising as a legislative wrap-up,” Redmond said. “So it’s going to cover a wrap-up from the last legislative session in Jeff City. We’ll have our two State Senators Dan Hegeman and Rob Schaaf as well as our three local State Representatives and they will give a recap on what happened in Jeff City this last legislative session.”

The event begins with continental breakfast at 7:30 a.m. on Thursday at Stoney Creek Hotel and Conference Center.

The event costs $15 for Chamber members and $25 for general admission. Reservations are required by noon on Tuesday.
