We are the voice for business in Greater Memphis.

Government Affairs

Greater Memphis is a great place to own and operate a business. And that’s no accident. Since 1838, the Chamber has advocated for business-friendly policies that empower homegrown businesses and our region’s workers, and that make investing in Memphis an easy decision. Learn more about our Government Relations.

Legislative Agenda

The Chamber has the long-established relationships and knowledge to help your business do business. Our advocacy doesn’t stop with elected officials. We also help our businesses navigate issues with operations, workforce, and the larger market. Learn more about our 2025 Legislative Agenda.

MEM2NASH

MEM2NASH is the Annual Day on the Hill for the Greater Memphis Chamber when business leaders and investors converge on Nashville to share the “voice of business” with state officials. As one of the most anticipated events on the Chamber’s calendar, this event has been celebrated as a time when the Governor and the Administration along with members of the Tennessee General Assembly are reminded of the strength, commitment, and diversity of the Memphis business community.

DC Fly-in

Advocacy for the Greater Memphis Chamber extends to the nation’s capital for the Annual DC Fly In when investors convene in Washington to meet with members of the U. S. Congress and the Administration to share updates and learn of opportunities for partnership and growth.

Government Affairs Committee

Chair: Michael Fulton, Memphis Shelby County Airport Authority

The Government Affairs Committee (GAC) of the Chamber’s Board of Directors directs, guides and supports the Chamber as it advocates for the Greater Memphis business community at the local, state, and federal levels. The Committee also makes recommendations to the Board of Directors on the Chamber’s policy positions and annual legislative priorities.

The Committee meets monthly, with additional meetings scheduled as issues surface throughout the legislative session.

Committee members, as well as the Chamber’s general membership, are encouraged to participate in the regular legislative activities of the Greater Memphis Chamber, including the MEM2NASH (Nashville) trip, D.C. Fly-In (Washington, D.C.) trip, and other similar activities.

Transportation Committee

Chair: John Dudas, Belz Enterprises

With its bringing together of business and government officials, the Greater Memphis Chamber’s Transportation Committee has over the years emerged as the primary organization focused on long range transportation plans, projects, and project completion for the City of Memphis. The committee focuses particular attention on working with its partners to ensure attention is placed on projects that are particularly impactful to and for local businesses and the overall economy.
