  2. Purpose • Proactive participation and leadership; • Identify key legislative initiatives that can enable progressive change; • Develop and shape Policy Positions that will drive that change, to more effectively lobby to support these positions; and • Expand communications initiatives to support this proactive shift.

  3. Introduction • The GAC should have a forward-leading, proactive role on issues that will positively impact the community’s business climate and quality of life prior to legislation being teed-up in the legislature and throughout the legislative process.

  4. Strategic Imperatives for action. 1. Develop a GAC Executive Committee & 7 Policy Committees. 2. Authorize the GAC Executive Committee to Interpret Issues & Legislation for Endorsement or Opposition under the guidelines of the Legislative Principle Statement and Policy Positions, which have been approved by Chamber Board of Directors.

  5. 3.Create and execute a more rigorous communications function to achieve broad alignment and support of the Valdosta-Lowndes County Chamber’s agenda. 4. Represent business interests and support legislation on key issues affecting our business climate. 5. Develop a strong network of top business leaders, develop a large grassroots membership and mobilize when needed on key legislative issues.

  6. CommitteesPolicy Committee Structure. 7 Policy Committees: Economic Development & Taxation Education & Workforce Development Energy & Environment Health Care Transportation Business & Industry Local Business & Industry

  7. PROCEDURES.Policy, Priority and Legislative Positions. The process is a member-driven process, designed to ensure that Policy Positions & Priority Issues that are passed by the GAC provide a well-reasoned, strong platform for the Valdosta-Lowndes Chamber to take to the appropriate level of government.

  8. Conclusion The restructuring of the GAC represents a bold and aggressive strategy to dramatically increase the Chamber’s capacity to deliver on its mission and solidify its position as the “Voice of Business” in our community.

  9. We believe its successful implementation will stimulate permanent increases in capacity and effectiveness through increased membership, awareness and influence, and the expansion of its top leadership base.
