The GVCC serves as the voice for the business community when public policy and proposed regulations threaten to impact the growth of commerce and economic development. Our approach is at once proactive and responsive to the needs of our membership and the overall business climate.
The GVCC’s Advocacy Group of Cumberland County researches local, state and federal legislation and recommends actions to endorse or disapprove proposed rulemaking. State, county and local government representatives are invited to one-on-one meetings to listen to the issues facing small business and large companies. United with one message, the business community can be heard loud and clear through the GVCC.
Message from our Advocacy Group of Cumberland County:
We are proud of our ability and consistency to remain bipartisan involving politics. It's important that we focus on representing our members when we work with any of our elected officials. We do not take sides or loyalties to candidates, we instead concentrate on the issues that affect our business community. As the fall election season approaches, we are publicly asking that all candidates at every level of government, refrain from personal attacks or negative campaigning aimed at their opposing candidates. We encourage all incumbents and candidates to focus on the issues at hand.
