LOBBYING ACTIVITIES
Our paid lobbyist is fighting for our members
Our Lobbyist
Fennimore Craig, one of the premier lobbying firms in Arizona, is contracted to work with the Surprise Regional Chamber of Commerce to support the collective interests of businesses in the West Valley! The Chamber as a 501(c)(6) ** business organization can lobby without jeopardizing its exempt status. This means we can stand up for the business values and principles this county was founded on!
Our registered lobbyist pushes for business friendly policies and a competitive tax environment that attract both new business and high-quality workers. Additionally, they seek to limit government regulations and intrusions that hinder our business community’s ability to meet the needs and demands of consumers and employees.
Grassroots Advocacy & Our One-Click Letter
Our Chamber is one of a few local chambers in the entire nation, to have a grassroots advocacy network!
One of the most effective and often underused strategies available to nonprofits is grassroots advocacy. Generally defined as “the basic source of support from the ground up,” grassroots advocacy includes organizing, mobilizing, and engaging the public and businesses to advocate for themselves. The value of this form of advocacy is that it is driven by the people. It is grounded in the belief that people matter and that their collective voices are powerful in influencing elected officials and in shaping policies at all levels of government. Our easy to use One-Click Letters makes it easy to have your voice heard!
