The Chamber’s Public Policy Committee and its subcommittees focus on Transportation, Healthcare, and Energy & Environment topics within the Lehigh Valley. Together, these committees play a vital role in shaping business development and growth in the Valley by meeting to discuss industry-specific issues and gain insight into their impact on the business community.

Here are some specific roles these committees play in our community:

Policy Legislation: Members of these committees advocate for policies supporting local economic growth while addressing issues affecting their industries. These committees serve as a unified voice for Lehigh Valley businesses, advocating for legislation that will promote development and a favorable business climate.

Community Engagement: Participating in these committees builds a stronger relationship with Lehigh Valley residents by enhancing the business’ reputation and establishing them as community leaders fighting for a common cause. In addition, committee members are often presented with opportunities to engage with committee specific issues outside committee meetings.

Communication with Government Officials: With help from Chamber staff, members can track proposed legislation and bring forth existing policies to the committee for discussion. Additionally, committee members have the opportunity to interact with legislators at committee Chamber events.

Networking and Connections: Through monthly meetings, members of these committees meet and discuss commonalities in their industry, while interacting with and discussing opposing viewpoints. This allows for relationships to grow among committee members, providing opportunity for networking and collaboration.
