Center for Advocacy and Economic Prosperity

Acting as the Chamber of Influence, the work from this center provides a robust community-wide voice on issues that impact the business community.  Here we actively engage in maintaining an open dialog with all levels of elected and governmental decision-makers to be most effective in sweeping legislative actions and addressing essential industry challenges. This ensures our area attracts and maintains new business growth while improving the community’s health, vibrancy, and prosperity.

Objectives:

• Continue strengthening relations with elected officials and staff to strengthen our voices as they advocate for the region’s businesses.
• Convene stakeholders, utilizing our Cornerstone Committee, to address issues and provide expertise to area governments aiding in pro-business decision-making.
• Leverage various communication methods to explain advocacy’s importance and impact on our business community.
• Collaborate with economic development organizations in the region, both in the public and private sectors, to diversify our business base and attract higher-paying jobs.
