If the Georgia Chamber of Commerce did not exist, who would...

• Monitor new bills and proposed legislation in the Georgia General Assembly and lobby legislators to support the pro-business position.
• Alert the business community when legislation is introduced that threatens profitability and productivity.
• Be the watchdog for mandates, often hidden in seemingly good legislation. Mandates add significant expense to business and cost jobs.
• Host the Red Carpet Tour and Georgia Quail Hunt, two of the most successful job creation and investment programs in America. To date, they have produced more than $5 billion in new investment in Georgia and more than 34,000 jobs.
• Provide small businesses with one-on-one consultation and solutions to their HR questions through our affiliate organization, the Georgia Employers’ Association.
• Lead the effort to fight drugs in the workplace with the Drugs Don’t Work program and reward participating businesses with a 7.5% reduction in workers’ comp premiums and 0.2% tax rate cut in unemployment insurance payroll taxes.
• Provide a full-time staff of resource professionals ready to assist you.

All for about a dollar a day for most businesses.
