Beyond the Basics: Government Relations

All chamber executives need to be well-versed in government relations. This government relations course is designed to equip chamber of commerce professionals with the skills, strategies and frameworks needed to successfully navigate the world of policy advocacy, political action and member engagement. Through three modules – Process, Policy and Political Action – participants will gain the expertise to effectively manage advocacy efforts, form impactful coalitions and influence public policy decisions.

We’ve partnered with Pravi to open the door to leading-edge thinkers and their content, bringing you valuable insights to elevate your chamber’s approach to government relations.
