Public Policy Committees

Be A Part Of The Solution. Your Voice Needs To Be Heard.

The Chamber engages in public policy advocacy and lobbying efforts at the local, regional, state, and federal levels. Policy positions on issues originate through Chamber member participation in one of the four policy committees that make recommendations on policy positions to the Chamber Executive Committee and Board of Directors.
