GNACC Government Affairs Committee

The purpose of our Government Affairs Committee is to facilitate the non-partisan flow of information between our Chamber members and state and local government officials representing our 11 communities.  The committee will identify opportunities to increase the level of interaction flowing from our members to our legislators, and reciprocal flow of information from our legislators to our members. The committee shall include multiple mediums of communication in their efforts including, but not limited to:
  •          Face -to-face interaction through forums, meetings, or events
  •          Electronic communication
  •          Social Media venues
Successful efforts in this arena will result in a group of legislators who understand the issues which are important to our members, and a higher level of knowledge for our members about what is happening at the capital that may affect their respective businesses.
