After conducting it's monthly regular business, the Bradley County Chamber of Commerce Board listened to a presentation by Bruce B. Donaldson and Kayla Berry with myARinsurance.com, a non-profit organization that promotes health insurance through the exchange program in Arkansas.  the program makes insurance available to individuals and families that cannot secure insurance through the private sector.  It makes affordable insurance available through private insurance companies.

In regular business, the board approved the October, 2017 financial statement and were updated on plans to conduct more improvements to the Railroad Depot.  A new grant of around $74,500.00 will be pooled with funds from the City of Warren to continue renovation and upgrading of the Depot facility.  Additional grants continue to be sought.
