Political Advocacy/Representing Business to Government
The Chamber's Governmental
Issues Committee provides our businesscommunity with a
proactive voice and advocate regarding governmental issues; and promotes
economic interests, which contributes to the quality of life of Castle
Rock.
This program facilitates communication and education between the
business community, local, and state governments. A variety of elected
officials, concerned members and townspeople meet to discuss and clarify
issues that are affecting our community today, tomorrow and in the
future. If you would like to be involved with this dynamic
committee, contact us at 303.688.4597 or email Pam.
The Castle Rock Chamber continues
to join forces with other business interests in Douglas County to
ensure that our collective voice is heard as lawmakers convene at the
state house. Our Douglas County delegation does an excellent job coming
to our aid-but they need our help! With 100 legislators representing
every corner of the state and myriad of interests jostling for support
on an extremely wide range of issues, it's vital that we continue to
come together to create a seat at the table with all lawmakers for
Douglas County business interests.
Douglas County
Business Alliance (DCBA) (visit web site) is a united effort of the
Castle Rock and Highlands Ranch Chambers of Commerce, along
with the Southeast Business Partnership and Castle Rock and Parker
Economic Development Councils, to form a legislative coalition to lead
and influence regional, state and federal policy, legislation and
regulations. The primary focus of the DCBA is to create a positive
business climate for the future of Douglas County businesses. The
board is composed of three individuals of each of the six organizations
who are appointed by each individual board of directors.
