Public Policy
The Public Policy and Government Relations Committee (virtual)
Rooted in over 100 years of service to Tempe, the Chamber continues its mission to strengthen Tempe’s economy through active civic engagement. The Public Policy and Government Relations Committee plays a key role in this effort—working to identify, advocate for and influence critical issues at the federal, state and local levels.

The Public Policy Committee meets monthly on the first Wednesday at 8 am via Zoom. These meetings are open to Chamber members who are interested in legislative updates and driving policy that supports a thriving economy.

The East Valley Chambers of Commerce Alliance is a coalition of the Chambers of Commerce of Apache Junction, Carefree Cave Creek, Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa, Queen Creek, Scottsdale and Tempe seeking to represent the interests and needs of the businesses within the region. We are among the largest business advocates in the state.
Annually, the EVCCA comes together and publishes a legislative agenda laying out it’s policy positions, and a report card tracking the previous votes of state legislators on relevant policy.
The current legislative agenda and report card can be found below.
