Government Affairs Council

Government Affairs Council

During the COVID-19 pandemic, meetings are the first Tuesday each month, 8:00am - 9:00am, virtually via Zoom. (Prior to the pandemic, meetings were held at 7:30am in the Chamber office conference room.) Meetings are listed on our calendar and Facebook page.

Government Affairs Council (GAC) meetings are open to all members. Come prepared to listen and contribute to the topics of the day. Public and elected officials from our state, Pierce County, City of Puyallup and City of Sumner are regularly in attendance.

During the Legislative session, we often hear updates from our shared lobbyist in Olympia, Carolyn Logue of CA Logue Public Affairs, as part of our involvement in the South Sound Chambers of Commerce Legislative Coalition. Our 25th District legislators are frequently in attendance as well.

GAC meetings occasionally include insights on actions at the federal level from Chris Eyler, the NW Region Director for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

Since our meetings moved to Zoom, we have made archived recordings of GAC meetings available on the Chamber's YouTube channel.
