Government Relations Committee

The Peabody Area Chamber of Commerce advocates for policies that support a strong local economy and healthy business climate. Through our Government Relations Committee, we work with local officials, businesses, educators, and civic leaders to promote good public policy and foster partnerships that benefit the entire community.

Our advocacy focuses on issues that:

Affect the business community as a whole
Impact a large portion of Chamber members
Influence local economic development
Affect key industries like manufacturing, services, tourism, and retail
Shape the overall business climate

When issues meet these guidelines, we take public positions and offer official support. For issues outside these guidelines, we help connect businesses with the right stakeholders, agencies, or elected officials to address their concerns.

Whether you’re launching a new business and facing red tape, or an established company navigating new laws, the Chamber is here to help.
