advocacy

Advocating for responsible business policies is at the heart of our chamber. We work with local and regional authorities to influence policies that support the growth of businesses while prioritizing the well-being of the community and the environment. CGCC informs our members of passed and proposed environmental legislation at federal, state of Illinois, and local governments which may impact our members.
