2012 General Assembly

The 2012 General Assembly session is underway.  As a benefit of Chamber membership, John Easter, our community and government affairs VP, will chart legislation and issues throughout the session and compile them in a regular email, sent to you each Monday.  The first update arrives on Monday, January 16.

Our Policy Priorities

We understand that, as a member of the business community, you want to stay up-to-date on matters of public policy affecting our region. The Greater Richmond Chamber monitors various legislative and regulatory matters at the local, state, and federal levels, and advocates on your behalf.

The 2012 public policy priorities were approved by the Chamber's Board of Directors after considering extensive input from member businesses.  The three main items -- transportation funding, workforce development, and early childhood investment -- reflect the overall issue priorities identified through member surveys.
