Public Policy

Public Policy Committees

The Chamber of Commerce of Southwest Indiana offers several committee opportunities for its members to become engaged through policy development and education. Our committees provide a forum to discuss and establish formal business perspectives on a wide range of policy issues, and to develop an official policy agenda adopted by a consensus of the committee with final approval by The Chamber board of directors.

The volunteers serving on The Chamber's committees are an integral part of our public policy efforts. These individuals have the opportunity to work with elected officials and advocate positions on behalf of the regional business community. For details on the public policy committees, please e-mail us at chamberinfo@ccswin.com.  

 

Government Affairs Committee

The Government Affairs Committee consists of individuals who work together to promote pro-business advocacy at all levels of government. Each year, the committee formulates policies on issues that affect business. During election years, the committee works to inform other Chamber members about candidates' positions on issues that affect business and industry. At the local and state level, the committee monitors budgets and issues to ensure a positive business climate.

Environmental & Energy Committee

The Environmental Committee is composed of technical and non-technical representatives from the business community who promote through advocacy and education the balancing of environmental protection and sustainable business growth. Topics range from air and water quality, to industrial safety measures and emission control.
