Advocacy
The North Chamber has a long history as an advocate for business-friendly initiatives and legislation, as well as infrastructure improvements. The North Chamber consistently champions a pro-business agenda and endeavors to serve as a collective voice to represent its large and small business members in government policy and legislative issues at the local, state and national levels.
Government Affairs (Ongoing): The North Chamber explores legislative, political and civic issues, and works with other businesses, community groups, chambers of commerce, and city, county and state government and agencies to solve problems. The North Chamber Board of Directors takes positions of endorsement or opposition of such issues.
Infrastructure (Ongoing): The North Chamber monitors and suggests necessary changes and/or improvements regarding roads, drainage and other infrastructure issues. The North Chamber Board of Directors takes positions of endorsement or opposition of such issues.
Legislative Agenda (Published every 2 years): Prior to each bi-annual state Legislative Session, the North Chamber identifies issues that affect business, economic development and quality of life; drafts; and adopts a Legislative Agenda that it later advocates for and monitors throughout the session. During the Legislative Session, the North Chamber updates the membership regarding the status of bills under consideration.
Special Projects & Initiatives (As necessary): Periodically, through partnerships with concerned entities, the North Chamber will initiate special projects and endeavors that improve or advance the business, civic, higher education or city/county government sectors. Such projects are typically identified by the Government Affairs Council, Infrastructure Committee and Board of Directors, and are voted on and either endorsed or opposed by the Board of Directors prior to implementation.
