Here at the Chamber, we are honored to advocate for you. Our Public Policy and Advocacy department works hard to support our key pillars to “amplify the voice of business.” Business opinions shared by the majority of Chamber members are identified and crafted into legislative agendas. Those agendas are communicated to legislators and members at many levels of government.
