Chamber staff sits on the board of many committees including local Community Boards, business organizations, Non-Profit Agencies and Cultural Institutions. Through various efforts of the Chamber such as lobbying trips, Action calls, and establishing a rapport with local officials, we are able to provide a strong voice for members which will impact legislation affecting Island business.
