What is the Government Affairs Council?
The Government Affairs Council (GAC) is made up of over 400 Government Affairs professionals who represent the 3,900 business members of the Georgia Chamber of Commerce.
The GAC has eleven standing committees and committee chairs. These committees work much the same way as committees in the State Legislature. Once an issue is presented, it is assigned to committee for study and subsequent recommendation to the full GAC. The GAC will then debate and make a recommendation to the Georgia Chamber Board of Directors. The Georgia Chamber of Commerce Legislative Agenda is the result.
