The Tempe Chamber's Role In City Policy
The Tempe Chamber Public Policy Committee monitors city policies, focusing especially on those that impact the local business community. Our strong partnership with the City of Tempe allows us to introduce and evaluate issues, as well as exchange detailed feedback with the Tempe elected officials. This collaborative relationship ensures that all stakeholders make informed decisions on behalf of our businesses and community.
East Valley Chambers of Commerce Alliance (EVCCA)
Established in 1999, the East Valley Chambers of Commerce Alliance (EVCCA) is a coalition advocating for policies that support businesses and growth. The EVCCA produces an annual legislative agenda and report card to be presented to our State Legislators. We are among the largest business advocates in the state.
