State and Local Initiative
Through partnerships with state and local chambers, the U.S. Chamber supports our business members and our federation of chambers in state-level policy work.
As the lines between state policy and federal policy become increasingly blurred, policy proposals often move from the federal level to the state and local level, and vice versa.
Additionally, policies under consideration in one state are often soon under consideration in multiple states.
The U.S. Chamber works with our state and local chamber partners to support and advise our business members and our federation of chambers in state-level policy work.
The Chamber is proud to partner with more than 500 state and local chambers, associations, and businesses across the country. Through this work, we continue to develop research and data insights, convene key stakeholders to address EOI issues, advocate and drive action to advance policies and private sector solutions, and design programs, initiatives and partnerships that address systemic inequalities and promote the promise of equal opportunity for All Americans.
