“The Ontario Chamber is excited to provide another value-added service to our membership,” stated Mark Smiley, President/CEO of the Ontario Chamber. “We will continue to fight for business at all levels of government and the new Web site will increase the number of people involved in that effort,” Smiley continued.

Last year, the Ontario Chamber began implementing a government affairs program complete with mission and vision statements, goals, long term strategies and an aggressive focus on results.

The Chamber’s GAC is comprised of chamber members that meet once per month serving as an action team for educating elected officials, building the advocacy program, setting legislative goals and priorities and providing legislative results for the Ontario business community. The GAC is chaired by Bob Cruz of The Gas Company.

“The new Web- based service is tool for the Ontario business community to use so that their voice can be heard on many issues that impact their bottom-line,” stated Bob Cruz. “The Chamber will highlight its positions on the Web site and give the business community the tools to take action on those issues,” continued Cruz.

Tracking legislation impacting the Ontario business community enables the Chamber to respond directly to our officials and their staff on pertinent issues. The Chamber will use the Web site to list all of the legislation that it is tracking.
