Advocacy

The Lake Champlain Chamber is the voice of Vermont business.

Our advocacy team represents our 1,100 members at the local, state, and federal level. During every legislative session, our team is at the State House every day tracking hundreds of pieces of legislation. We send weekly updates to our membership to inform them of any potential impacts to their business and offer expert testimony on behalf of our members in committee. We also work outside of the legislative process to influence rulemaking and regulations, serve as an advocate for our members when engaging with agencies and departments, and engage in legal cases that impact our business community.

If you would like to engage with our advocacy team, please do not hesitate to reach out at [email protected].

"The LCC Advocacy Team’s years of experience and consistent presence in the State House lends itself to a thorough understanding of issues that affect the Vermont economy, as well as the capacity to act on those issues."

"With many businesses such as ours, there may be risks of unintended consequences of well-intended legislation. We found it helpful to be plugged into the collaborative work LCC's advocacy team is doing with others in Montpelier – to stay aware of what’s happening and help our voices be heard."

“I am very much appreciative of the support that the Lake Champlain Chamber provided on behalf of our Vermont independent restaurant community. Their thoughtful advocacy combined with ease in collaboration provided the support and resources our restaurant industry needed within these challenging circumstances.”

“The LCC Government Affairs Team was quick to engage stakeholders on the cloud tax, providing information and opportunities for those affected by the proposal to engage with legislators.”
