Policy

It’s the Chamber’s role to create, develop and utilize cutting-edge policies and practices that will provide outstanding pro-business legislative and local policy representation to our membership.

To identify issues through surveys and analyses from our members and Association of Washington Business. All legislated issues will be presented to the Board of Directors for final approval. If a particular business related issue needs to be addressed before to the next Board of Directors meeting and is an unanticipated legislative event then the Board of Directors allows this committee to act.

Vision

To educate and inform all legislative bodies about important business related issues facing the Mount Vernon community by using the collective clout of chambers of commerce and other business organizations and to educate and update chamber members on the committee’s activities.

Mission

The Mount Vernon Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee will work with all legislative bodies to foster a positive business climate for Mount Vernon.
