Businesses For A Better Joplin
Identifying Issues That Matter To Businesses
For many business owners, taking on political issues alone can be daunting and time-consuming. By bringing together organizations, topics can be addressed with a unified voice to improve the economic prosperity of the community. The Chamber serves as the principal advocate for the area business community at the local, state, and federal levels. The Chamber’s Public Policy Committee looks at issues that are relevant to Chamber members, positioning the region for thoughtful, pro-business legislative policies.
Preserving a healthy economy through advocacy benefits all the residents in our community. Creating an environment for all business sectors to thrive elevates the quality of life and opportunities for business owners and their employees.
