The MIDJersey Chamber of Commerce works to influence public policy that is beneficial to the business in the region. Through the Chamber’s staff and volunteer members of the Legislative/Public Policy Committee, we meet with elected officials and their staff, use media campaigns and partner with like minded organizations to champion for pro-business issues.
