Voting is only open to members of the Birmingham division of the Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce, and closes this evening, Friday 29 July at 5pm.
Each organisation has four votes. Should multiple employees from the same organisation vote in the election, only the first voter 's votes will count.
Henrietta Brealey (pictured), chief executive officer at Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce, said: “We have received a brilliant response from Birmingham 's business community in our 2022 Chamber Council election.
“Birmingham members have just a few hours left to cast four votes from a talented pool of individuals representing a broad range of sectors, experiences and interests.
“Given the important role that Chamber Council plays in advocating for and feeding back the views of our members, I would urge Birmingham members to get involved while they still can.
“I am very grateful to all of this year 's applicants for putting themselves forward for Chamber Council and wish them every success in the election. ”
