Advocacy is one of the Greater KW Chamber of Commerce’s four pillars and we have been proud to advocate on behalf of the business community throughout COVID-19 as we hear about challenges and concerns that businesses face. If you have any questions, concerns, or are experiencing challenges related to COVID-19, please contact Art Sinclair, Vice President of Public Policy and Advocacy at asinclair@greaterkwchamber.com.
