ADVOCACY
The South Carolina Chamber of Commerce serves as your advocate at the State
House. As your advocate, the Chamber works to prevent anti-business
legislation and regulations, and it researches and develops solutions to
address business concerns. Each year, the Grassroots Network develops
what we call the Competitiveness Agenda, a list of issues that provides
an easy way for business leaders to communicate with legislators on
items that will impact the state's business community. Regular weekly
reports keep all members up-to-date on legislative and regulatory
activities.
The unified voice of business in South Carolina continually strives to
maintain one of the most positive business climates in the country. In
an effort to sustain this edge, business leaders stay engaged in the
South Carolina Chamber's Grassroots Network. The Grassroots
Network assists in moving important legislation forward or in halting
legislation that may have a negative impact on the state's
competitiveness. Members of the Grassroots Network stay informed and
involved in issues that impact their business. Grassroots Network
members can receive the weekly Competitiveness Update during the
legislative session, get periodic legislative alerts on issues that
affect their business, access a database of business-related
legislation, and are invited to a grassroots regional meeting in their
area, to name just a few benefits. |
