Town Hall Meeting: No-Smoking Ordinance

A draft of a no-smoking ordinance is working its way through the Kansas City, Missouri Finance Committee, and could be presented to the KCMO City Council before the holidays.  This proposed ordinance is the subject of the Chamber's next Town Hall.  Here's your chance to have a voice in the process!

 

How could a no-smoking ordinance affect you as an employer or employee?  How could it change your experiences in public places like restaurants, hotels, shopping malls, casinos, or even the common areas of apartment buildings or nursing homes?  Learn this and more on November 11.

 

Lawrence, Kansas has already adopted a no-smoking ordinance.  It's a done deal.  Listen to what's being proposed, and weigh in with your opinions on the KCMO ordinance while there's still time.  A similar city ordinance could be on its way to the city where you live or work!  The Chamber Town Hall panel discussion will include Rex Archer, MD, MPH, Director of the Kansas City, Missouri Health Department, and Chuck Eddy Kansas City, Missouri Sixth District City Councilman.  In addition, you'll hear from Mid-America Regional Council, an organization that is providing information to assist local officials in evaluating the issue for their own communities.  They'll be there.  You should be too.

 

This event will be moderated by Nick Haines of KCPT, and Pam Whiting of the Chamber.
