    10:00 Speaker Series – Mass Opportunity Alliance 
    Learn more about the Mass Opportunity Alliance (MOA) and two 2026 ballot initiatives inspired by MOA's research.  MOA was launched in 2024 by Pioneer Institute, the Massachusetts High Technology Council, and the Massachusetts Competitive Partnership to unify business, nonprofit, academic, and trade organizations around solving the key challenges to business competitiveness in Massachusetts, identify collaborative policy solutions, and to directly communicate with and engage the public.
     
    MOA collaborates with allied organizations that share a commitment to economic growth and innovation, including the Retailers Association of Massachusetts, National Federation of Independent Business, and several regional chambers of commerce.
     
    Inspired by MOA research, a coalition of taxpayers, businesses, and organizations is advancing two ballot questions for 2026 that would cut the state income tax rate from 5% to 4% and reform the state revenue cap formula to curb unsustainable budget growth.
     
    10:30 Speaker Series – Zeffy
    How the Greater Lowell Chamber Saved $4,600 in Credit Card Processing Fees – And How You Can Too!


    Since April 2024, the Greater Lowell Chamber has saved over $4,600 in credit card processing fees by using Zeffy, the only 100% free fundraising and payment platform. We use it for event registrations, membership dues, raffles, and are even launching an online silent auction with their newest feature.


    Join us for a session with Zeffy to learn how your chamber can eliminate processing fees, keep more money for your mission, and share this tool with your nonprofit members too!

    11:00 Chamber Exchange        
    Chamber Exchange is an opportunity to network and share resources with your Chamber peers. 

    Make sure to have your video on - the purpose is for us to make connections with our peers while sharing resources.
