GOVERNMENT RELATIONS – MEETS MONTHLY - SECOND TUESDAYS @ 4PM
The Government Relations Committee meets in the conference room of the Greater Fayetteville Chamber, 1047 Murchison Rd., Ste. 120, Fayetteville NC 28301. This meeting is open to Chamber Members only. If you would like an item to be added to the agenda contact JMcLaughlin@FayBiz.com.
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.
2023 Candidates Business Forum
The Government Relations Committee of the Greater Fayetteville Chamber is presenting its Candidates Business Forum this October 9th. Come out and listen as candidates running for City Council address their positions on vital topics impacting our City.
