Policy & Politics

As you can see, you can be a citizen lobbyist. The question is: Are you willing?

The Michigan Chamber works hard each and every day to represent you in Lansing. Our message will become that much stronger when you—local business leaders—make your opinions known and to reinforce our message with your state representative and senator.

Lobbying makes a difference. It doesn’t take a lot of time or a huge commitment. And, the Chamber provides you with multiple resources to keep you informed on key issues in Lansing.

Will you step up and join the Chamber Action Team? Will you engage as a community leader who is willing to contact their lawmaker on urgent legislative issues and ask them to act? Will you help us fight for conditions favorable to job creation and business growth? 

As a member of the Chamber Action Team, you will be one of the first people we contact with breaking legislative news. You will be the team of job providers willing to speak up to their lawmaker and support the Chamber lobbying efforts. We’ll provide you with all the information you need on the legislation and keep you informed on the status of it as it moves through the process. The Chamber Action Team will be our army of members dedicated to moving Michigan forward and creating a stronger business climate in the state to keep us competitive globally.

We need you! Join our Chamber Action Team today!
