Policy Statements
Every two years as new legislative terms begin, the Saginaw County Chamber of Commerce brings together business leaders from our communities who volunteer their time to focus on the legislative initiatives of the Chamber.
The committee reviews policy statements and makes recommendations to the Chamber Board of Directors to adopt positions that will help create a healthy business environment for job creation and economic growth.
These policy positions are then used to advocate to government officials, our membership and the public. Chamber staff monitors legislative and policy issues at the local, state and federal levels and the impact of these issues on business and economic development in Saginaw County and works with legislators and other policy makers to communicate our positions.
During the 2nd year (even numbered year) of the legislative cycle, the policy documents are revised in order to remove those issues we've achieved and include new legislation or proposed policy.
In our next electronic publication, we will look at specific public policy and how it will affect Saginaw County.
As you see, the Saginaw County Chamber of Commerce is at the forefront of all things legislative, policy and political. We strive to work for you, our members, to support legislation and candidates that will work to create an environment that will help your business grow and thrive.
If you have an interest in serving in some capacity on our Screening & Endorsement Committee, please feel free to call either Bob VanDeventer or Veronica Horn.
