Dear Business Leader:

Advocacy is a tough business and the Mount Vernon Chamber is here to give a voice to the business community. Have you ever read about a new law or regulation from your City, County, State or Federal government and thought, "They passed WHAT? Now I have to start figuring out how to stay in business and comply with this new law, regulation, fee or tax!"

If so, now is the time to participate in the process with the Mount Vernon Chamber's newest advocacy resource. We have partnered with the US Chamber of Commerce to help the Skagit Valley business community to 1) stay informed and up-to-date on all the issues important to you; and 2) advocate for, or against, the policies and legislation you care about most.

This is your tool to help you send letters, emails, and faxes to elected officials at all levels of government. We will update the list of alerts continually to ensure you are informed and able to participate in the democratic process as effectively and efficiently as possible. To act, simply click the "Take Action" link above and then follow the simple instructions.

So, go ahead, bookmark this page! You are now empowered like never before to have your voice heard regarding the local, regional, state, and national issues important to your life and business. Help us keep the Mount Vernon Chamber of Commerce the true opinion leader in the business community.

Thank You
