Greater Rochester Chamber deals with many local issues of importance on behalf of our members. We have strong relationships with local policy makers, forged through years of mutual respect and communication. We utilize these relationships, data, and the input of our members to assist in various local matters, including, but not limited to:
- Mandate relief
- Navigating the processes to obtain permits/certifications/variances
- Assisting with government agency disputes
We’re honored to have many local elected officials join us for our Policy Matters event series, which give our members a chance to hear from and even converse with the leaders that influence and make decisions in Greater Rochester and the Finger Lakes region.
