2021 Advocacy Scorecard

Every year, hundreds of policy changes are proposed that will impact the health of Arvada businesses. Through the Advocacy KAPS Council and consistent outreach to elected officials at all levels of government, the Arvada Chamber strives to stay informed on the latest developments while advocating for a strong local economy.

Over twenty business leaders sit on the Chamber’s Advocacy KAPS Council, which boasts four sub-committees in 2021 to address major issues in the community: Business Regulation, COVID-19, Education and Workforce, and Healthcare. The 2021 Advocacy Scorecard documents the Chamber’s position on dozens of bills at the 2021 session and each legislative outcome.
