Your engagement with this committee offers an invaluable opportunity to directly shape local policies and improve communication between our Chamber, its members, and our elected officials. Here are just a few reasons why you should consider joining or attending:

1. Advocate for Your Business:

One of the core purposes of the Chamber is to advocate on behalf of local businesses, and the Government Affairs & Member Advocacy Committee plays a key role in this effort. This committee offers a direct platform for business leaders like you to share the challenges you’re facing, whether it’s related to legislation, regulations, taxes, or other issues.

3. Stay Informed on Key Legislation:

The Government Affairs & Member Advocacy Committee keeps members up to date on the latest legislative initiatives, local government decisions, and business-related laws that could impact your company.

Whether you want to be prepared for changes or provide valuable input, this is the place to stay informed.

This committee is a great way to connect with local government leaders, policymakers, and fellow business owners. Networking with decision-makers and community influencers can open doors to valuable partnerships and opportunities.
