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 a pro-business climate that allows for job growth and economic diversity, which is imperative to our continued economic growth and success. The committee focuses its advocacy efforts in the following areas:
The HCC supports tax policies that stimulate growth, innovation, job creation and support regulations that provide businesses with certainty and flexibility.
The HCC supports economic growth through diversification, workforce development, access to capital, public-private collaboration and proper land-use policies to support a vibrant economy and ability to create an inclusive and welcoming environment for 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.
The HCC supports meaningful healthcare reform and education curricula support aimed at addressing better health outcomes, enhance individual experience of care, reduce per capita cost of care, and support quality of life measures that appeal to existing, expanding and relocating businesses.
