Sen. McNally receives Champion of Commerce award from state, city chambers

The Tennessee and Oak Ridge chambers of commerce have awarded the Champion of Commerce award to Senator Randy McNally, a press release said.

It said the award is presented locally in coordination with the Tennessee Chamber and local chambers of commerce.

“The prestigious award recognizes individuals that exemplify outstanding achievement promoting business and free enterprise during the 2013–2014 108th General Assembly,” the release said.

“We are proud to recognize Senator Randy McNally,” said Bradley Jackson, vice president of the Tennessee Chamber Government Affairs Program. “This is a great opportunity to showcase these legislators who went above and beyond on a number of pro-business policies at the State Capitol.”

The statewide board of directors for the Tennessee Chamber approves the award for legislators who have demonstrated exemplary efforts in protecting and promoting business and free enterprise at the conclusion of each General Assembly.  The select award is given to just over 5 percent of the total 132 members of the General Assembly, the release said.

“The Chamber of Commerce has a strong set of values and a vision for improving job opportunities for Tennesseans,” McNally said in the release. “I am very honored to receive this award and look forward to continuing to work with them on legislation to improve education and create jobs in Tennessee.”
