The Yuba Sutter Chamber of Commerce has established a Government Affairs Committee (GAC) to study and analyze issues of interest to the Yuba Sutter area and its business community; to take advocacy positions on those issues; and to communicate the Chamber’s viewpoint clearly to our membership, elected officials, and the community at large.
Authority of the Government Affairs Committee
The GAC is fully empowered by the Board to determine Chamber positions on issues and to take action on them once ratified by the Board of Directors.
Structure of the GAC Committee
The Chair of the GAC will be a Chamber Board of Directors member and will serve a term of 1 year. The committee will be composed of no less than 50% Chamber of Commerce
Board Members. The GAC voting members will vote in new members. The GAC Chair will determine meeting frequency. Members must comply with a 75% attendance requirement.
Program of Work
The GAC Committee will create an annual Program of Work that is issue-driven and which utilizes input from members, local and state chambers, and other resources. The Board of Directors approves the Program of Work.
Issue Selection
The GAC will utilize well-defined criteria when selecting issues as part of the Program of Work. The criteria include:
Policy/Position Statements
The GAC will create and maintain policy/position statements that are broad, show the Chamber’s position of support or opposition on issues, and that allow the Chamber to react quickly as the issue changes. These statements are not specific to a single piece of legislation but are positional to reinforce the Chamber Beliefs.
Political Candidate Campaigns, Endorsement/Advertising/Sponsorship
It is the policy of the Yuba Sutter Chamber of Commerce and the Chamber Government Affairs Committee to not endorse political candidates or to offer event sponsorship opportunities for promoting a political candidate.
