Accelerating Competitiveness

Public policy lays an essential foundation for equitable economic development and is critical for cultivating a vibrant quality of place, attracting and retaining top talent, and directly impacting a community’s competitiveness. Our Business 宣传 team plays a vital role in policy development, policy execution, strategic growth initiatives, and political activities, convening and mobilizing an array of stakeholders across the city, 地区, 和国家.

What It Means to Advocate

Develop Strong Policies

Through the 印第安纳州y Chamber’s Business 宣传 department, 印第安纳州y’s 地区al business community can align behind shared priorities that benefit all. The organization’s Legislative Agenda is the product of ongoing conversations with thousands of employers across the 地区. The agenda identifies strategies to elevate the 印第安纳州y 地区’s economy to compete at a higher level.

Engage in Political Activity

The Business 宣传 Committee (BAC) serves as the political voice of the 印第安纳州y Chamber’s membership and the electoral engagement arm of the organization. Endorsing and contributing to local 和国家wide races, the BAC supports bi-partisan candidates who seek to advance the policy priorities of the 印第安纳州y Chamber. The Chamber also engages in issue-specific public campaigns such as supporting/opposing referenda campaigns or coalition leading.

Execute on Policies

Government affairs and lobbying are key components of the Business 宣传 team. As the Chamber’s policy development process identifies strategic public policy priorities to advance the 地区, an effective advocacy execution ensures those priorities are implemented into law through its lobbying operation and elected official relationships.

Convene Regional Partners

Through the Accelerate 印第安纳州y (AI) Collaboratory, the 印第安纳州y Chamber is equipped to convene 地区al partners, generate insights, and guide operational strategy to advance solutions to 地区al challenges and catalytic investments. Review the AI Collaboratory’s work on the 65/70 Inner Loop Project below.
