“We’re trying to use the technology we have and reach out to all the businesses and chambers who can’t make it to the Summit,” said Mark Owens, Vice President of the Chamber. “We’re mindful of people’s time and people can view it after the event. There is not a lot of (live streaming Chamber events) going on and we’re glad to get it started.”
