The Chamber Legislative Action Committee (LAC)

Purpose

The business environment is critical to the well-being of our community and can be heavily influenced by those who make laws. The Chamber of Commerce is your voice in protecting and enhancing a business friendly climate by supporting good policies and when need be, to challenge and counter bad policy. This can only be accomplished by members’ active participation.

Structure

The Chamber’s Legislative Action Committee is a non-partisan three-tiered approach consisting of a Roundtable forum open to all members, a 25 member Steering Committee and ultimately, the Chamber Board of Directors. Roundtable attendees receive monthly briefings on current business-related legislation and provide input for the Steering Committee’s consideration. The Steering Committee meets bi-weekly with the Chamber’s lobbyists to discuss bills and make recommendations to the Chamber Board. The Chamber Board takes official positions on behalf of the chamber membership at their monthly meeting.

Who, Where & When?

Monthly Roundtable Briefings- Open to all chamber members, this forum takes place on the 3rd Thursday of the month from 12:00-1:00 at the chamber during the legislative session (Jan-May)
