POLICY COMMITTEES

Issues Committee​

The Issues Committee pursues matters of interest to the Southern Nevada business community. It encourages policymakers, business leaders and members to support policy that creates opportunities and innovations, as well as promotes growth. During the last Nevada Legislative Session, the Henderson Chamber of Commerce (HCC) was successful in providing actionable support and opposition to a number of bills to support businesses.

The HCC supports projects and policies that develop and improve infrastructure in the areas of communications, energy, water and transportation as critical assets that benefit all businesses and promote job growth and livability in Henderson.

The HCC supports enhanced education and skilled workforce efforts that aim to produce a well-educated, well-trained Nevada workforce for tomorrow’s business needs while also supporting education measures that appeal to existing, expanding and relocating businesses.
