Advocacy Committee News

Announcing the Summer Business Tour

As Chair of the GKC Advocacy Committee, I'm making it a priority this summer to connect personally with Chamber members about what matters most to your business. I want to hear directly from you: How are local and state regulations affecting your operations? What challenges are you facing? And how can the Chamber best advocate on your behalf?

Please don't hesitate to reach out to me at alysa@silverdalelawyers.com, and watch for a call or visit from me this summer. Your voice shapes our advocacy work, and the more businesses we hear from, the stronger our case at every level of government.

— Alysa Grimes, Chair, GKC Advocacy Committee

Save the date: Eggs & Issues 2026
