Government Affairs Commitee

The Government Affairs Committee serves as a bridge between the business community and local, state, and federal governments. Its primary role is to advocate for policies that promote economic growth, support local businesses, and improve the overall business climate. This committee plays a key role in ensuring that the voices of chamber members are heard in legislative and regulatory processes, while keeping businesses informed about changes in laws and policies that may impact them.
