Public Policy

Many chambers organize candidate recruitment programs to attract knowledgeable, business-friendly candidates to run for local elected office. These programs range from informational sessions to campaign assistance.  We have assembled some sample documents from chamber run candidate recruitment programs to help you launch your own program - they are available at PolicyClearinghouse.org.

Thanks to the chambers in Des Moines, Green Bay, and Orlando for sharing information about their programs.  If your organization runs a great candidate recruitment or political leadership program, please share it with us, leave a comment below. 

There are a wealth of resources on PolicyClearinghouse.org.  From survey results to annotated links to sample legislative agendas and award winning communication campaigns, ACCE has a wealth of resources to help make your job a little easier.  Check out the site, scroll over the Additional Resources tab, you might be surprised by what you find.
