THE GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS COUNCIL By Anita Laruy, Director
The Chamber’s Government Affairs council was created to educate members about what policies and laws are being considered and enacted, that will affect them and their respective businesses. During the political cycles, we hold luncheons and other special meetings to afford members the opportunity of meeting the candidates that aspire to represent all of us at the local, state and federal levels. During the off years, especially when the Nevada legislature is in session, we follow bills that affect businesses and insure that our voice is heard either by testifying in person or urging our members to contact legislators to support or oppose a particular bill.
If you are interested in the government or political arena, join our Council which is open to Chamber members. We are now meeting every other month and do hold special meetings when there is an important issue that will affect all of our businesses. For more information, feel free to call me at 702-275-9761.
Do not forget to urge your friends, associates and family members to vote in November. This is a constitutionally given right that we must all exercise.
