Why is voting important?
Communities depend on strong economies in order to thrive, and strong economies are built by healthy businesses. It is important that policymakers understand the impact legislation has on the business community so that policy encourages economic growth.
Having a healthy business community encourages other businesses to locate in the mid-Willamette Valley, making our region more vibrant and creating a higher quality of life.
What advocacy means to you and your business
The Salem Chamber advocates for business-friendly legislation at the local and state levels of government. We monitor public policy issues so you can focus on your business, not government regulation.
