About the Committee

The purpose of the Public Policy Committee is to ensure recommendations presented to the Board of Directors effectively address public policy issues at the local, state, federal and/or international level. The Committee serves to evaluate evolving policy issues on a timely basis and provides oversight and direction on efforts to increase member participation in the Policy Committee process.

The Chamber's Public Policy Committee is charged with identifying key issues and topics related to the business community. The Committee's second objective is to make recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding positions on proposed legislation, and ballot initiatives so that the Chamber can pass on a consistent and clear recommendation to its members. To see how the committee handles issues, see the Public Policy Committee Guidelines.
