What is Advocacy?
Communities depend on strong economies to thrive, and strong economies are built by healthy businesses. It is important that policy-makers understand the impact legislation has on the business community so that policy encourages economic growth, not hinder it. Having a healthy business community encourages other businesses to locate in our area, making our region more vibrant and creating a higher quality of life.
WHAT ADVOCACY MEANS TO YOU AND YOUR BUSINESS
The Surprise Regional Chamber advocates for business-friendly legislation at the local, state and federal levels of government. The annual Legislative Agenda is one way our Chamber advocates for businesses.
We monitor public policy issues, so you can focus on your business, not government regulation. One of the most important steps when creating our chamber’s Public Policy Agenda is ensuring we have a thorough understanding your opinion on the various issues.
