Government Relations Committee
The Government Relations Committee (GRC) is comprised of a sub-group of dedicated professionals on the Katy Area Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, who represent a diverse array of businesses in our region. Our primary focus is on participating in legislative and public policy matters that directly impact the Katy area business community. We firmly believe that fostering a strong relationship between local government, educational institutions, and businesses is crucial for the sustainable growth and prosperity of our community.
The Katy Area Chamber of Commerce engages in Government Affairs. We do NOT engage in political action on behalf of candidates and do not have a Political Action Committee (PAC).
Primary Goals and Activities
Identify a priority list of issues that will be tracked. The priority is established through committee discussions and input from local business leaders and owners.
Pursue dialogue with local, regional, and state legislators. Based on those discussions, provide Katy Area businesses with relevant information to help them navigate future decisions.
Track legislation that impacts Chamber members and inform the membership of potential changes or creation of new laws.
Create useful and meaningful forums for discussion and understanding members' views on the issues/proposed legislation.
