Government Relations

NEXT MEETING DATE – April 13, 2022 (4:00pm – 5:00pm)

The Greater Fayetteville Chamber is a 501(c)(6) not-for-profit organization.  We are not funded with public monies but are funded through the support of our members so that their voices can be heard.  The Chamber’s Government Relations Committee is the group which reviews legislation of importance to business at the local, regional, state, and federal levels. The committee recommends position statements to the Chamber Board of Directors. Once adopted, the 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 GAC.
