The Kansas Chamber. Achieve More.
The Kansas Chamber of Commerce is moving Kansas towards becoming
the best state in America to do business.
The member-driven Chamber’s strength comes from thousands of Kansas
employers, including small, medium and large businesses that range from
one-person firms to multi-national companies with thousands of employees.
The Chamber listens to its membership, forms policy and a legislative agenda
and then takes the issues and concerns of Kansas businesses directly to the
policy-makers at the Statehouse in Topeka.
To achieve more, the State Chamber partners with other pro-business
organizations and local chambers of commerce to develop policy initiatives
to grow the economy and provide more employment opportunities. Working
together, we can achieve success that would be impossible alone.
The Kansas Chamber’s Annual 2010 Legislative Agenda's focus on the key
issues impacting Kansas employers, and creating a more positive business
climate in the state.

We work on all of these issues
and more so that Kansas business can reach the next level. On
behalf of Kansas businesses, the state chamber is ever vigilant
at the Statehouse in Topeka.
Politically Active
To be effective in the Capitol in Topeka, the Kansas Chamber
screens candidates for their views on business, encourages
pro-business candidates to run for office, and provides campaign
support to get them elected. The Kansas Chamber PAC is the
financial avenue by which the business community can support
candidates who work to make Kansas the best place to do
business, and strong member support makes it one of the most
successful organizations of its kind in the state. It is just
one of many ways that the Chamber, its members and member
organizations work together to accomplish the goal of making
Kansas the best state to do business. For more on the Chamber PAC

Chamber Programs
The Kansas Chamber’s signature leadership growth program --
Leadership Kansas – cultivates new business and government
leaders for our state by giving them critical firsthand exposure
to the important issues of the day confronting business and
government. It is regarded as one of the nation’s top leadership
programs. Leadership Kansas benefits are as diverse as the
participants. Graduates gain enhanced communication skills,
creativity, exposure to future business trends, and they expand
their thought processes. (See
www.leadershipkansas.org)
The Kansas Chamber of Commerce Executives program promotes networking, training and higher professional
standards for the men and women working in their communities for
the many chambers across the state.
The Kansas Retail Council represents the interests of Chamber members in the retail sector
of business. The
Kansas
Industrial Council represents the interests of Chamber members in the
industrial sector of business.
The Chamber’s Annual Dinner every year in Topeka is the largest
statewide gathering of business and government leaders that has
become the defining event of the Kansas Legislative Session. In
2009, noted political commentator Tucker Carlson is to be the
keynote speaker. Membership in the Kansas
Chamber brings those benefits and many others. None is greater,
perhaps, than the powerful potential to achieve more that the
Chamber represents.
With the backing of Kansas employers, The Kansas Chamber listens
to business and then takes the business message directly to
everyone who needs to hear it in Topeka. Please join the Chamber
as it works on behalf of business at the Capitol. Because
together, we can Achieve More. And so can all Kansans. |
