The Chamber’s prestigious Spirit of Enterprise Award is
given annually to members of Congress based on their votes on critical business
legislation as outlined in the Chamber’s annual scorecard, How They Voted.
“Businesses of all shapes and sizes need sound, commonsense
policy in place in order to get off the ground, grow, and succeed,” said Thomas
J. Donohue, president and CEO of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. “The Spirit of
Enterprise Award recognizes those members of Congress who have done what’s
right for our friends, family, and neighbors running businesses across the
country. We applaud Congressman Reed for his commitment to free enterprise and
economic growth.”
This is the 29th year that the U.S. Chamber has formally
honored the accomplishments of this select group of members of Congress.
The U.S. Chamber of
Commerce is the world’s largest business federation representing the interests
of more than 3 million businesses of all sizes, sectors, and regions, as well
as state and local chambers and industry associations.
