Letters to our Legislators As the voice of the local business community, the Chamber takes an active role in legislative issues. The Chamber's Business Issues & Public Policy Committee identifies and acts on key issues of interest to Mountain View businesses. Areas of focus include local, state and federal legislative issues, as well as business and industry related issues such as transportation, development, environmental health & safety, regulation and business trends. The committee makes recommendations to the Chamber Board of Directors for official adoption. The committee also informs and educates membership and members of the Mountain View community on key issues through topical forums, written communications, and publicity. Check out the links below to view some of our recent positions.

As a member of the Santa Clara County Chambers of Commerce Coalition, the Mountain View Chamber stays actively involved in regional issues-- ensuring that our members are heard at this level as well.

Annually, a contingency of Chamber members takes a visit to Sacramento to meet with our state legislators in order to discuss our priorities and communicate issues important to our members. For more information, contact Allison Nelson at 650.968.8378 or anelson@chambermv.org
