Dear ,

It's a new year and we're delighted to introduce a new look to our member newsletter!

The switch to a weekly frequency is based on feedback from you regarding a desire for more timely and streamlined member communications. Dublin Chamber Weekly will land in your inbox at 4pm each Thursday and will include all the latest news about upcoming Chamber events, our lobbying activities, member news and relevant updates about what's happening in Dublin.

In this events-focused issue you will find: details of the main events coming up in the Chamber over the coming weeks, including a breakfast briefing with Fianna Fáil Leader Micheál Martin. You'll also find the latest news about our not-to-be-missed AGM Dinner next month, plus details of the 18 candidates running in the upcoming Chamber Council elections, and much, much more.

I hope you enjoy our first issue. As always, we welcome your feedback on our new format.

I look forward to seeing you at one of our upcoming events.

Kind Regards

Mary Rose Burke

CEO | Dublin Chamber
