  • Purpose
    Advocacy is one of the Bay Area Chamber of Commerce’s strategic priorities:     to maintain a leadership position in the Great Lakes Bay Region as an advocate for pro-business policies. The Advocacy Committee plays a vital role in advancing this mission by serving as the collective voice of our membership on public policy issues that impact the business community.

    The committee monitors local, state, and federal legislation, educates members on key issues, and engages with elected officials to ensure business interests are represented in the policymaking process.

    Value to Members
    Through the Advocacy Committee, Chamber members gain a direct connection to the legislative process and a seat at the table on issues that matter. From advocating for infrastructure improvements and talent development initiatives to supporting business-friendly regulation and economic development strategies, the committee helps shape a stronger business climate.

    Members benefit from regular policy updates, issue briefings, access to decision-makers, and opportunities to influence regional and statewide outcomes. By participating, you help amplify the voice of Bay County businesses and contribute to a thriving economic environment.
