The Hutchinson/Reno County Chamber of Commerce has canceled its Legislative Forum that had been scheduled for Saturday, March 14.

In a statement released Thursday, the Chamber said the event was canceled due to scheduling conflicts among state legislators, which limited the number of participants available for the discussion.

“We value the opportunity to facilitate meaningful dialogue between our community and elected officials,” the Chamber said in its announcement. “However, we were unable to secure the level of participation needed for a productive discussion.”

The Legislative Forum series is designed to give community members an opportunity to hear updates from lawmakers and ask questions about issues affecting Reno County and the state.

The next Legislative Forum is scheduled for Saturday, April 25, at The Wesley, 3709 Asbury Place.
