Education and Advocacy
Government affects business in many ways,
through taxation, regulation, infrastructure
development, and policy direction; all
issues of fairness and equity. Government is
one of the biggest influences on business,
and a positive business climate can be the
difference between profit and loss, success
and failure. Business pays attention to
government, but too often not enough
attention, given the impact it has on the
bottom line.
The role of the Government Affairs
Division of the Chamber is to bring focus to
those issues that can have a positive
influence on business, and to those issues
that can be costly and unfriendly to
business.
The Government Affairs Division of the
Chamber is the communication program between
business and government that identifies
priorities of business as well as
quality-of-life issues. The division
provides education and advocacy on the
priorities of the membership to the proper
government body.
