Legislative Advocacy:
Making your voice heard
The Greater Gardner Chamber of Commerce is your legislative advocate. The Chamber's Legislative Affairs Committee shapes the Chamber's positions on key issues. The Chamber is committed to providing important information and acting as The Business Voice for our members and our community concerning key issues and legislative actions that affect area businesses.
- We keep you informed about the latest local, state and national issues.
- We stay current on all topics through our memberships in associations such as the US Chamber, MACCE, and the Massachusetts Council of Chambers.
- We conduct regular meetings and discussions with our legislators and elected officials to address your concerns.
- We provide Legislative Calls to Action.
- We conduct regular Legislative Programs to educate you about important issues and initiatives.
“I have been a participating member of the Legislative Affairs Committee of the Greater Gardner Chamber for several years. The information we cover and the national, state and local issues we discuss are consistently pertinent and timely to the work I do. Anyone present who has an opinion on a given topic has the opportunity to be heard and to vote on the stand that the Chamber takes on a particular issue. The discussions are often lively and there is definitely no rubber stamp involved. I believe our group has a significant impact on political decisions that affect us all.”
