“This forum is extremely important to the chamber and its members,” said the Galveston Chamber’s 2020 chair and owner of Classic Auto Group Galveston, Howie Bentley. “The Chamber’s mission is to promote and advocate for business and community development and we need to ensure we have leadership that supports a pro-business environment. We are proud of the relationship we’ve built with local government; and we look forward to continuing to work with city leaders to develop pro-business initiatives.”
This forum is extremely important to the chamber and its members.
