Description

The Greater Fayetteville Chamber Government Relations Committee reviews legislation of importance to business at the local, regional, state and federal levels and recommends position statements to the Greater Fayetteville Chamber Board of Directors. Once adopted, the Greater Fayetteville Chamber is then able to take positions on issues, issue press releases, give public comment, write letters and otherwise engage to educate legislators, members and the public about the legislation. The group also plans candidate forums and other topics of legislative interest. Any Chamber member can participate in the Greater Fayetteville Chamber Government Relations Committee.
