How did your
legislator vote on the Senate House Rules Change?
As an attempt to keep our Chamber members updated on how
legislators' vote on business-related bills, the Greater Columbia
Chamber of Commerce and the South Carolina Chamber of Commerce are
making available the Legislative Scorecard. This will inform
you how legislators' votes on business-related bills and
differentiates legislators who support business and those we do
not.

Welcome to the Greater Columbia Chamber of Commerce Guide to
Building Relationships with Public Officials. As a business
leader, your participation is a crucial part of this process
and your involvement can help shape the agenda. Simply put,
political involvement is good business.
The majority of public officials welcome the input of
business people. This guide will assist you in building
relationships and becoming involved in the political process.
You will learn how to share your opinions with elected
officials and how to communicate effectively.
The Chamber represents almost 3,000 member businesses and
over 5,000 members. We can be a strong and influential voice
in the political process. Our strength is not just in our
numbers, but also in our ability to build a sophisticated
grassroots-lobbying program that engages our membership. The
most effective lobbyist the Chamber has is YOU, the business
person. We hope you will become actively involved and
help shape the direction of your community.
