Public Policy Committee
The MRCC Public Policy Committee (PPC) helps set the policy agenda for the Chamber and guides its advocacy efforts. The PPC generally meets the second Tuesday of each month from 7:30 - 9:00 a.m., September through May, in the MRCC downtown office (81 S. 9th Street, Suite 200).
The PPC is chaired by Mr. Steve Bianchi, President of Associated Bank. The City of Lakes, Northeast Minneapolis and Bloomington Chambers of Commerce are also very active in policy issues impacting their specific cities and neighborhoods. Through member input, Board of Director direction, and other Committee activities, the Chamber is the voice for members on important local issues.
Chamber staff work in conjunction with members to assure their points of view are a part of all relevant policy discussions. For more information on the Public Policy Committee, please contact Travis Bunch, tbunch@minneapolischamber.org, Director of Public Policy.
"The Chamber is committed to advocacy efforts that ensure the region remains the best place to establish and grow your business. Your participation in these efforts will make the difference."
- Steve Bianchi, Chair of the PPC
