Advocacy and Public Policy
The Greater Bloomington Chamber of Commerce is working on your behalf at the city, county, state, and federal levels to raise the collective voice of business and advance issues of importance to the business community. The Chamber works collaboratively with decision makers to find the best solutions to complex issues and create opportunities for input. In addition to our role as a policy advocate for business, we are a community partner and the source for creating broad-based coalitions around issues we all care about.
The Advocacy Division is made up of the Chamber Advocacy Council and the Legislative Council. Both councils are comprised of member volunteers and led by board-appointed chairs. Both groups discuss developing issues that fall within areas identified in The Chamber's legislative agenda, local public policy initiatives and/or strategic plan. The Advocacy Council focuses on issues that arise on a local level, while the Legislative Council monitors issues within the state legislature, and sometimes on a federal level.

Connecting our members and the public to elected leadership is a priority of The Greater Bloomington Chamber of Commerce. Creating opportunities for open dialogue with key decision makers at the local, state and federal level is paramount to our advocacy and public policy focus. Here are examples of events that the Chamber hosts to connect these groups:
