Legislative Priorities
The Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce strives to engage the area’s public and private sectors in a common goal of creating prosperity for our communities and our residents. We regularly work with elected officials on issues and programs that move our city and region forward.
With the help of our member volunteers, we are able to position the Chamber as an effective and relevant partner and leader in community and policy development.
Each year, the Nashville Chamber frames an annual plan that addresses our key policy goals for the year. The current plan includes a continuing focus on public education, economic development, workforce, land use, mass transit, livability, and supporting key initiatives that increase prosperity in the Nashville area.
As part of our efforts to facilitate community leadership, the Chamber also hosts an annual Leadership Study Mission during which community leaders travel to another city to study common issues and learn best practices for the Nashville area.
To learn more about the Chamber’s legislative priorities or to get involved, please contact our Community Action department.
It's very easy to become engaged in Nashville. Nashville is an open community, and anyone can participate. They just have to volunteer.
