Government Affairs


2009 Legislative & Government Affairs Committee

The Howard County Chamber of Commerce has an active legislative affairs and public policy advocacy program led by the Legislative and Government Affairs Committee. The committee is comprised of committed members of the business community who are interested in legislative issues. These members volunteer to work with the Chamber staff to track, analyze, and report on legislative matters deemed important to the membership and our strategic partners.

2009 Legislative Committee is full. Please contact Pam Klahr or Catherine Bedolla for assistance with determining another way for you to volunteer with the Chamber. Please contact Heidi Gaasch if you would like your name placed on a waiting list.
