Government Affairs Committee

The Government Affairs committee serves an important role for the Natchitoches Area Chamber of Commerce.  Its mission is to provide essential information to the Chamber membership on public policy issues and to advocate for the membership while working to align government priorities with local business needs.

As such, they are constantly monitoring legislative issues, having conversations with our local legislators and working closely with municipal and parish-wide governing bodies to focus on our members' needs.
