Your Business. Your Voice.

The Government Affairs Committee serves as the Chamber’s front line in shaping a business-friendly climate across Palm Beach County. By monitoring local, state, and federal legislation, the committee ensures that our members are informed, prepared, and represented. This committee also plays a vital role during election cycles. Through careful review and discussion, the committee provides guidance and recommendations to help members make informed choices at the ballot box.

  • Review and analyze proposed legislation that may impact the business community
  • Evaluate candidates and key issues related to City and County Commission races
  • Provide summaries and recommendations to Chamber leadership and members
  • Advocate for public policy that supports economic growth and opportunity

They will assist in choosing the best position for the photo, if necessary. The person selected to cut the ribbon will be directed and assisted as to where to stand during the picture and how to handle the scissors.
