Register Today:  Health Care Forum Featuring Newt Gingrich on July 13
Get your tickets today for a luncheon you will not want to miss!  On July 13 at the Intercontinental Hotel in Buckhead, former U.S. Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich will break down the implications of the new federal health care law for Georgia Chamber members -- how it will directly affect them, their employees and their bottom line. Gingrich has been at the forefront of health care issues since his time in office.  Upon leaving Congress, he became one of the nation's strongest advocates for common-sense, free-market health reform, including during the recent federal debate.  This event is an unprecedented opportunity for Chamber members to hear about one of the key issues of our time with one of the key figures in the debate. Registration begins at 11:30 a.m., with lunch starting at noon.  Tickets for the event are $45 per person and include lunch.  Click here to purchase tickets for this event.
