Public Affairs Council
As the leading voice of business in the NW Valley, the Chamber works to create and sustain a favorable business environment in which all businesses can grow and prosper. As a core pillar of the Chamber’s mission, it is vital for business owners and entrepreneurs to have a strong voice in the regulatory process.
Public Affairs Overview
The Public Affairs Council advises the President/CEO and Board of Directors on key political issues affecting the business community, including ballot measure campaigns and endorsements.
Participation
Participation on the Council is by invitation only, and may included government relations executives and C-Suite executives whose companies are Chairman Circle members. The greatest benefit of the Chamber’s Public Affairs efforts is providing business leaders and owners a seat at the table and a strong, united voice in the regulatory process at all levels of government.
Networking
It serves as a networking platform for these high-level representatives of major member companies to share information and resources from colleagues.
Meetings
Public Affairs Council members convene as required and on conference calls as needed. At these gatherings, political strategists and government leaders share their expertise on cutting-edge issues, providing an insider’s look at the political and legislative climate. The Public Affairs Committee review legislative bills and local ordinances, hear presentations, and unite in support of or against policy proposals impacting the business community.
Board Oversight
The committee determines guiding principles before submitting them to the Board of Directors for review. The committee discusses, debates, and fine-tunes the recommendations and submits them to the Chamber’s Board of Directors for evaluation and approval. The Board-approved recommendations become the Chamber’s guiding principles, which drive our advocacy efforts.
