The Legislative Committee is the starting point for the "Voice of
Business," where we work diligently to promote the
local, state and federal legislative interests of
the business community. The Chamber's involvement in
statewide legislative issues has elevated this
committee's presence, not only in the community but
also in Springfield, where Naperville's opinions are
being sought and heard.
The Legislative Committee furthers the Chamber?s mission by advocating
governmental business concerns on behalf of Chamber members. The basis for work
is a Board approved Initiatives & Positions and Agenda for Advocacy. The
committee reviews and assesses governmental business issues that are brought to
the Committee, promotes and communicates those issues and interests to decision
makers in government, Membership, and community.
