Five chambers of commerce in Southeast Virginia recently formed a coalition. The group is called The Regional Business Alliance: A Coalition of Chambers of Commerce in Southeastern Virginia, and is comprised of the Franklin/Southampton, Hampton Roads, Isle of Wright/Smithfield/Windsor, Virginia Peninsula, and Williamsburg Area chambers of commerce. The coalition will meet four times a year, and hold emergency meetings if necessary, to discuss issues affecting the region's economy and to develop joint policies. The individual chambers of commerce will retain their autonomy. (Staff) by CNB
