Public Policy Series sponsored by Mt. Wachusett Community College
On Tuesday, April 6th - we will provide a federal political / legislative update to our members from our guest speakers Oswaldo Palomo and Matthew Epperly of Chartwell Strategy Group.
With so much talk in Washington about COVID, recovery, stimulus and spending, we thought we should turn to those who know Capitol Hill best for a bi-partisan briefing on what is really going on in DC. We will be joined by Ozzie Palomo and Matt Epperly from Chartwell Strategy Group in Washington.
