Mission Statement

The mission of the Pro-Business Council is to study issues that affect Chamber members, formulate positions and then take action on those issues on behalf of the York business community. The Pro-Business Council enables the Chamber to respond quickly to issues and develop expertise on a wide variety of subjects. The group also increases the Chamber's visibility in the community and promotes a positive, proactive relationship with elected and appointed officials and agencies on the federal, state and local levels.

The Pro-Business Council meetings generally center on those topics outlined in the Pro-Business Priorities. These Priorities are fashioned around the annual Legislative Priority Survey of Chamber members and also address other important issues as they arise. The York County business priorities correlate well with the State Chamber's priorities, and we work in conjunction with other members of the State Chamber on issues of common interest.

The Pro-Business Council meets monthly. The regular meeting time for the Pro-Business Council is 7:30 am on the third Tuesday of every month. Members serve either two or three-year terms with the opportunity for reappointment. The Chairman of the Chamber Board, Chamber President and the Chairman of the Pro-Business Council serve as spokespersons for the Chamber on government-related matters. We hope you will consider becoming a member of the Pro-Business Council. This is a great opportunity to become involved and have an impact on governmental issues facing the business community of York County.
