Votility: New Advocacy Software
This year has already been a successful one for our policy efforts, as Tampa International Airport has secured state funding for the first phase of their master plan and county funding has been secured for High Speed Ferry Service. With other issues related to education, flood insurance, and health care on the horizon, the Chamber has added a new tool to use in engaging our members to support our legislative agenda.
Our new advocacy portal, Votility puts you one click away from researching the legislation the Chamber is tracking and the ability to contact your representatives in Tallahassee and Washington. As a member, you will be able to read each bill, leave a comment or send an email in support or opposition, all in one place. Votility will improve your ability to make your voice heard and help the Chamber communicate our business community's views. Invitations for Votility have gone out! Make sure you check your inbox. If you are a Chamber member and you have not received an invite, please contact Michael Maurino at mmaurino@tampachamber.com.
