Government Affairs
A core mission of the chamber is to advocate for business and strengthen the economy. We represent the voice of business at the city, county, state and federal levels.
Our Government Affairs Committee actively advocates for members’ interests.
Partnering with City Officials
A prosperous business community is at heart of a strong community. Local businesses are the drivers of jobs and healthy sales tax for valuable city services.
Chamber leaders meet regularly with City officials to keep Folsom a great place to do business.
Our bi-annual Business Walks, sponsored in conjunction with the Folsom Economic Development Corporation (FEDCorp) and the City of Folsom allow us to proactively identify business challenges.
Protecting Folsom’s
Job Creators and Quality of Life
The quality of life that Folsom residents have come to enjoy in Folsom is dependent on the hundreds of small business owners that create local jobs and tax revenue for important public services such as police, fire, schools, parks and trails, and road improvements.
This is why the Chamber’s Government Affairs Committee (GAC) serves as the community’s government watchdog monitoring federal and state legislation, and government actions at every level to ensure that Folsom’s employers and job creators are protected from high taxes, and excessive regulation and litigation. This has contributed to Folsom’s business friendly political environment and a high standard of living.
Our bi-annual Business Walks, sponsored in conjunction with the Folsom Economic Development Corporation (FEDCorp) and the City of Folsom allow us to proactively identify business challenges.
