Discussing Legislative Issues
One of the core functions of the Chamber is to activate and educate members in public policy. To attain this, the Chamber established the Government Affairs Council (GAC).
Made up of a group of Chamber members interested in advocacy, the GAC meets monthly to discuss legislative issues impacting business in McMinnville, the State of Oregon and nationally.
