Advocate for Area Businesses

Several active policy committees provide opportunities for chamber members to discuss and influence civic, social, and business initiatives that support community growth. The KC Chamber focuses on issues that impact the businesses in the KC region - in both Missouri and Kansas.

It’s very difficult for any business, individually, to have the voice that we are afforded collectively through the KC Chamber.
