Government  Advocacy

There are a myriad of political issues that impact your day-to-day business:

Transportation

Whether bringing the goods/services to the consumer or having the consumers come to you, transportation affects everyone. The Chamber is dedicated to making sure our roadways are safe, reliable and efficient.

Education and Workforce Training

In the competitive business world, it is imperative to have well-trained, well-educated employees.  We are committed to helping businesses implement workforce training programs to stay on top of new technologies, and advocate for school funding to for future generations.  This funding will make certain that our schools are of high-quality today, so that students will be prepared for the challenges of tomorrow.

Flood Control 

The Chamber is actively advocating for advanced flood control for the Puyallup and White rivers, to ensure that homes and businesses are protected.  With the necessary measures taken, the flow of commerce in the Puyallup/Sumner area will not be affected should flooding take place. 

Permits, Taxes, Policies 

Current and upcoming taxes and policies should be made with free enterprise in mind.  Small businesses are the backbone of not only the economy, but our community.  It is imperative current and pending legislation is not just fair to these businesses, but promotes growth and stability.
