Jan. 4, 2010 - PRLog -- State Representative Alisha Thomas Morgan, House District 39, will serve as the keynote speaker for the Legislative Process Workshop on Saturday, January 9, 2010 immediately following the Georgia Black Chamber of Commerce’s (GBCC) 12th Annual Legislative Prayer Breakfast.  (The prayer breakfast will begin at 8:30 a.m., and the workshop will be held from 11:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m.).  The event will take place in the Hyatt Regency Training Room of the Hyatt Regency Atlanta Hotel, 265 Peachtree Street.  

The Legislative Process Workshop is an essential function for business owners who would like to learn how to: (1) effectively engage in the political and legislative process, (2) build relationships with decision makers and (3) how to earn contracts with state and local government.
