Public Policy
The Greater Irvine Chamber Public Policy Council is a Chamber Board of Directors-appointed body of individuals representing a diverse cross-section of industry verticals. The Council reviews legislation and regulation to formulate positions in support, opposition, or neutrality on issues that affect the membership of the Chamber. The Council is responsible for culminating these positions in the Chamber’s public policy handbook, which contains a public policy platform adopted by the Chamber’s Board of Directors biennially. The Council also advises the Greater Irvine Chamber Board and professional staff on public policy for emergent issues.
