Government Affairs Committee
The government affairs committee meets on a regular basis and has 200 members. It prioritizes legislative issues, and using member feedback solicited by the government affairs department, creates State and Federal Business Advocacy Agendas that outlines issues that have an effect on the business community. Committee members work for a diverse cross-section of industries and organizations, and all Chamber members are welcome to join.

Following through with their support of the Business Advocacy Agenda issues, members travel to Tallahassee and Washington, D.C. to make the region's pro-business issues known to legislators.

The Government Affairs Committee works cooperatively with many organizations, including The Nonprofit Center for Northeast Florida, the University of North Florida, Florida State College Jacksonville, First Coast Manufacturers Association, Northeast Florida Builders Association, the Florida Chamber of Commerce, Associated Industries of Florida, the National Federation of Independent Businesses, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
