Legislative Positions

The Chamber's policy process is member-driven. Our policy process focuses on careful analysis of issues and legislation. The foundation of the policy process is a group of issue-oriented subcommittees, which are open to all Chamber members. Each subcommittee focuses on one of the following areas: economic development and tax policy, workforce development, education, environmental policy, infrastructure and workplace regulations.

Each of these subcommittees reports to the Chamber's government affairs committee, which in turn reports to the Chamber's board of trustees and the Toledo Area Small Business Association's (TASBA) board of directors. Through this process, every Chamber policy position is eventually reviewed by committee members. This guarantees that the policies of the Chamber are representative of the Chamber's membership at large.
