The Small Business Committee, established in 1994, represents small business interests throughout the SC Chamber's policy development process, ensuring the broad range of issues of particular importance to small business owners are adequately represented.
Goals
- Implement 2025 Goals to advance the interest of small businesses throughout the state
- Help small businesses with issues that impact their bottom line
- Motivate small businesses to make a difference through advocacy
- Urge small businesses to contact one another, legislators, and congressional representatives so these unifying voices can change the system to the benefit of small businesses.
Actions
The Small Business Committee achieves its goals by:
- Meeting quarterly to discuss and act on issues affecting small businesses
- Achieving legislative priorities to enhance small businesses
- Serving as a resource for small businesses across the state
"If you think the SC Chamber is only concerned about the interests of the largest companies in our state, you would be mistaken. Besides the tremendous networking and educational resources for small businesses, we have a very active Small Business Committee that works closely with the staff and board to make sure that small business interests are always considered in our legislative initiatives."
– Hal Stevenson, Owner, Grace Outdoor
