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.
