ADVOCACY CONNECTING EDUCATE SERVICES Committees & Groups

ADVOCACY

Advocacy is the core responsibility of a chamber of commerce. To prevent anti-business legislation. Public policy significantly impacts businesses and their ability to operate. From transportation initiatives to workforce funding to tax law, legislation influences the competitiveness and profitability of our businesses.

We are a strong advocate for business interests at the local, state and federal levels. We are the voice of business.

We are part of a coalition of chambers and together we represent over 5,000 businesses which gives us a louder voice
A legislative update goes out once a month, more when necessary.
Our Legislative Council meets on an as needed basis to help set our Public Policy Agenda, Candidate Forums and Legislative Trips.
The best part? Most of the Advocacy is done for you without you having to do one thing!

Because we believe in a free market and our prosperity depends on it!

CONNECTING

We connect smart people with big ideas with the resources they need to turn their ideas into reality.

We believe connections should also happen organically. We're not big believers in the "shuck-n-jive" of business card exchanges. We believe that when you bring people together for common goals great connections happen.

Make sure and join The Lunch Club we meet the last Friday of every month for lunch, that's it, just lunch! Just sign up in The Info Hub under "My Subscriptions".

Because it's what we do.
