Advocating for Positive Change with a
​Focus on Reducing Taxes

Our members seek to be part of a unified voice that advocates for them with a focus on reducing taxes. We have an active public policy committee composed of a variety of business leaders. Our goal is to create a climate of growth and success for all businesses of Chautauqua County. Our efforts promote a pro-business agenda at all levels of government – local, county, state and federal. We promote this agenda in partnership with the business community. In addition, we have strategic partnerships with the Business Council of New York State, the Manufacturers Alliance of New York State, Unshackle Upstate, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the National Federation of Independent Businesses and the Chamber Alliance of New York State that puts our members in a network that channels information to and from all levels of government.
 
To help facilitate strong connections between our membership and our top elected officials in the region we host several legislative events during the year. Through these events we provide direct access to our Congressional Representative, State Senate and Assembly Representatives and our County Executive.
