How can I join and participate in a Public Policy Committee?
Our committees are open to all Chamber members, and you may join by emailing lzapata@charlottechamber.com to be included in the distribution list to be notified of upcoming meetings and policy updates.

Do I have to attend every meeting?
You can attend as many meetings as your schedule allows, we appreciate any and all involvement! Keep in mind you will find a higher benefit if you are able to attend a majority of the meetings. *Also, please RSVP to avoid meeting cancellations due to lack of size*
