NOTEWORTHY POLITICAL NEWS
VP of Public Affairs attends US Chamber Government Affairs conference
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce held their annual Regional Government Affairs Conference in late October in Chicago, IL. The Greater Phoenix Chamber of Commerce's Vice President of Public Affairs, Mike Huckins, attended the conference with other public affairs professionals from local and state chambers of commerce. 

The conference provided a platform for chambers of commerce to collaborate on issues impacting business communities across the nation, such as infrastructure, tax and health care reform. The conference highlighted the need for all chambers of commerce to engage in political action on behalf of their membership. With city councils and state legislatures trending more and more partisan, the responsibility lies on chambers of commerce to ensure the voice of business is heard loud and clear.
