Community Affairs Committee

Mission

The Community Affairs Committee (CAC) was organized in 2017 in order to educate members on local and state legislative issues while creating a mechanism for the Chamber to advocate for the interests of business in government. The goal is to connect elected officials to the committee and encourage the business community to take an active role in understanding Government and how they may participate in the legislative process. Local and state governmental influences are largely affected by the input of the community they serve. This committee serves as a conduit to exchange ideas and priorities between the Hobe Sound community we serve and those who represent us in the policy and decision making process.

Process
The CAC meets monthly to discuss issues of interest and hear presentations from elected officials and partners. If an issue affects the health and sustainability of local business, the committee has the responsibility to research the proposed impacts and give a recommendation to the Chamber’s Board of Directors for consideration of adopting a position or action. The CAC is responsible for sharing information, and should the Board of Directors adopt a position, action or resolution, the committee will help disseminate the position.
