As the voice of business in the Valley, the Lewis Clark Valley Chamber of Commerce is committed to keep­ing our region competitive and improving the business climate. One of the best ways we can achieve this goal is through the legislative process. Representing two cities, two counties and two states provides us with a unique opportunity for cooperation between our local and state level representation. The Chamber is proud to work on behalf of our members to advocate policies and legislation that contributes to the growth and prosperity of our region.

Government Affairs Committees - ID & WA

The Government Affairs Committees representing Idaho and Washington advocate for legislation conductive to a healthy business environment at the State, County, and City levels and to inform our membership about pertinent issues through the development of Position Statements. Both Committees conduct bi-weekly phone calls with our senator and representatives in Boise and Olympia.
