The Chamber's Public Policy Committee is your voice in government. Our Government Affairs team fights for the issues of concern for your business on the state and federal levels. We take proactive measures to ensure that government considers business in every applicable vote. We'll keep you informed of relevant issues through emails, committee, and council meetings.

The subcommittees focus on key areas of concern for our Lehigh Valley businesses. Each committee meets to discuss industry-specific issues and gain insight into their impact on the business community.


  • Energy & Environment
  • Healthcare​
  • Tax & Regulation
  • Transportation

The Public Policy committee members and staff listens to our members needs and research all sides of pertinent issues and pending bills to produce The Chamber's position statements. We take pro-business positions on legislation that will have an impact on your business. We then advocate for legislation that will create a more commerce-friendly environment where your business can thrive.
