Indiana Chamber Announces Top Legislative Priorities for 2020
These priorities were among those unveiled today at the Indiana Chamber’s annual legislative preview in Indianapolis. A panel discussion featuring General Assembly leaders from both parties was also part of the event.
“Raising the age for legal purchase of all tobacco and vaping products, increasing the cigarette tax and taxing e-cigarette products should fall into the no-brainer category,” says Indiana Chamber President and CEO Kevin Brinegar.
Between 2012 and 2018, vaping usage among Indiana high school students increased 387% and nearly as much among middle schoolers. Smoking causes Hoosier businesses more than $6 billion in annual productivity losses and increased health care costs.
“Families are suffering the tragic consequences of these addictions, and just last week we saw the state’s fourth vaping-related death. Voters have already shown strong support for these common sense moves. There is no room for delay or making excuses. The state must step up and address these issues; we can’t wait on or depend on the federal government to act,” he declares.
A pair of Indiana Chamber objectives for 2020 centers around economic development and talent attraction, and acknowledges that Indiana has more job openings than job seekers and the state’s own talent pool isn’t growing quickly enough.
“Hoosier employers are routinely missing out on hiring qualified individuals from other states or countries because of Indiana’s rigid professional licensing laws that essentially demand re-licensing and don’t recognize a person’s existing credential,” Brinegar explains.
“The Indiana Chamber believes that unless a license is directly tied to people’s health or safety that our state licensing laws should be eliminated altogether or greatly relaxed.”
Another target area is boosting regional economies. A recent Indiana Chamber Foundation employer workforce survey underscored how important quality of place is for job-seekers. Nearly half of the employers surveyed said applicants were not attracted to the community where the company was located.
“The best way to grow regional economies and support local communities is by giving people closest to their constituents fund-deploying capabilities and letting local taxpayers hold them accountable. Therefore, we support empowering local communities in regions across Indiana to come together to create regional management authorities.
“This approach would incentivize local elected officials and business leaders to collaborate more and consider strategic investments for their regions that make them more attractive places to live, work and play.”
The caucus leaders discussed issues like raising the legal smoking/vaping age to 21 and what else needs to get done in 2020. From left to right: Rep. Terri Austin, Speaker Brian Bosma, moderator Tom Schuman of the Indiana Chamber, Senate President Pro Tem Rod Bray and Senate Minority Leader Tim Lanane
Ensuring high school students have access to financial aid is also on the Indiana Chamber’s agenda. The group wants to require most high school seniors to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form. Indiana lags behind its Midwestern peers in FAFSA filings, ranking 34th among all states.
“Right now, students are leaving money on the table. We want as many students as possible to have the opportunity to earn industry-recognized credentials and degrees with reduced or no debt,” Brinegar offers.
Turning to energy, businesses are the state’s largest consumers – making the issue top of mind for the Indiana Chamber.
“As a state, we need to have a strategy in place to assure that we can continue to deliver energy to workplaces and residences that is adequate, reliable, affordable and cost-effective. The General Assembly and Governor have started work on this, but much more needs to happen.
“The Chamber will be conducting a comprehensive study of the issue in 2020 and will be able to provide additional insight into where the state stands now and where it needs to be in the future with resources and demands.”
The entire list of Indiana Chamber top legislative priorities:
Addressing the vaping dangers and reducing the state’s smoking rate by increasing the legal purchase age on both from 18 to 21, as well as instituting a tax on vaping products and increased tax on cigarettes
More transparency in health care costs and lessening the incidence of “surprise billing”
Unemployment insurance tax liability certainty for employers while also ensuring fund solvency
Reducing or eliminating unnecessary professional licensing requirements that can hinder talent attraction
Create regional management authorities across the state to boost quality of place funding to make local communities and economies more vibrant
Development and implementation of a diversified energy policy that ensures the state’s continued access to adequate, reliable, affordable and cost-effective energy
Strengthening Indiana’s high school accountability system to provide greater transparency and comparability for parents and more meaningful outcomes for students
Requiring Indiana high school seniors to complete the FAFSA – with an opt-out option – so more receive financial aid and pursue credentials and degrees
Significant investment in Indiana’s water infrastructure and prudent planning for the future

West Coast Chamber Leadership Team Awarded Professional Recognition From State Association
LANSING, MI– The Michigan Association of Chamber Professionals (MACP) recognizes the entire
Leadership Team of the Michigan West Coast Chamber of Commerce, with the 2019 Michigan Chamber Professional award. Over the past two years, the leadership team has built a world-class team that has defined the organization’s vision using the principles of the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS).
“It is an honor to recognize the West Coast Chamber as an industry front-runner in Michigan,” noted
Anita Nystrom, Director of MACP. “The Chamber’s contributions help raise the bar for our association and model excellence among chambers across the state.” The Chamber is a Five-Star Accredited Chamber by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce; recognized by MACP as the Chamber of the Year in 2018; and recognized by ACCE with a 2019 Excellence in Communications Award for their digital new member journey campaign.

The recognition comes from a nomination by peers and selection by the MACP Board of Directors.
The designation stands for three years.

Mayfield/Graves County Chamber of Commerce Offers Community Breakfast Focusing on Kentucky’s Opioid Crisis and How it Affects our Business Community
To
involve the business community in combating the epidemic, the Kentucky
Chamber’s Workforce Center is partnering with the state cabinets for Health and
Family Services and Justice & Public Safety, the biopharmaceutical company
Alkermes, and Aetna Better Health of Kentucky on a new, employer-focused initiative.
Opioid
abuse is killing more and more Kentuckians every day. In 2017, more than 1,500
of our fellow Kentuckians died from drug overdose - an average of 4 each and
every day - and the number of deaths is increasing by a rate of 11.5% each
year.
Due to these startling numbers, Mayfield/Graves County Chamber invites
local businesses to join us on Tuesday, December 17, from 7:30 am – 8:30 am, at
the WKRECC Community Room as we discuss opioid abuse in Graves County, the
scope of the problem, current efforts to reduce abuse, and best practices that
can be adopted by your business to combat the problem. The
Opioid Response Program for Business, led by a task force of business and
industry representatives, can work directly with employers to help audit their
policies and recommend best practices to maintain a drug-free workplace while
supporting a recovery-friendly culture. They focus on destigmatizing the
addiction epidemic and supporting employers’ role in opioid prevention,
treatment and recovery in the workplace.
Economic
research has found a strong link between rising opioid prescriptions and
declining workforce participation rates, estimating that nearly half of men age
25 to 54 who are not in the workforce take pain medication daily, and a higher
rate of absenteeism among opioid abusers who work. Kentucky’s high level of
substance abuse was a contributing factor in the state’s low workforce
participation rate (one of the lowest in the country) in a 2017 Kentucky
Chamber of Commerce report.
“Employers
are feeling the impact firsthand,” said
Denise Thompson, Director and CEO of the Mayfield/Graves County Chamber of
Commerce. “As businesses struggle to find
and retain workers, the opioid crisis is making the challenges even greater,
and we are trying to educate and help our members in any way we can.”
Kentucky
has taken a number of actions in recent years to combat the opioid epidemic,
but the persistent need requires additional effort.
To
learn more about this program and ways your company can assist, or to reserve
your spot for the December Breakfast Blender focusing on Community Wellness and
the Opioid Epidemic, please contact Allison Sloan, Community Relations
Coordinator with the Mayfield/Graves Chamber, at 270-247-6101 or email

Taste of Tupelo draws community to sample restaurants, businesses
Like the 12 previous times, Thursday’s Taste of Tupelo drew a capacity crowd to sample not only the food of restaurants and caterers, but also to see what services several businesses had to offer.
Put on by the Community Development Foundation, the Taste of Tupelo capped ticket sales at 1,400 and all were sold. And filling the BancorpSouth Arena floor were 105 vendors, including restaurants, food trucks, banks, cleaning services, beverage companies, insurance companies and retailers.
“It allows our members and the community to come out, get to see the different businesses, see what they have to offer and then get to taste some of the different restaurants ... it’s a great way for our businesses and our restaurants to showcase themselves to our members and the community,” said Judd Wilson, vice president of the chamber of commerce at CDF.
Tina Smith Wilkerson was with Steele’s Dive, helping to hand out some of the popular restaurant’s desserts.
“We’ve got chocolate bread pudding, our almost-famous white chocolate bread pudding and apple dumplings,” she said.
Pat Campeau, the area manager for Eat With Us group, was nearby helping with a dual booth that featured the Grill and the recently opened Bulldog Burger Co.
“We’ve been doing this since the first one,” he said of Taste of Tupelo. “It’s a good way to give back to the community, and it’s a good way to get name recognition and tell everybody what we’ve got. And it’s fun.”
For Carolyn Brownson, co-owner of Jimmy John’s, the event, “is a great way to put our food in people’s hands and have people fall in love with it. And it’s just a fun night out. We love it.”
For attendees like Veronica Lockridge, Taste of Tupelo is an ideal event.
“We love it – it’s the premier event of Tupelo,” she said. “It’s great to have the adults of Tupelo get together and share what’s good about Tupelo.”
And businesses, even those that have been well-established, enjoy the networking.
Jeff Williams of Williams Transfer and Storage said the nearly 80-year-old company gets many benefits from attending.
“We’re here to promote our business, and we’ve done it every year except one,” he said. “It’s absolutely worth it. You’ll get some good leads from it, too.”
Bev Crossen had her Farmhouse booth decked out with local art, one of the main reasons she participated.
“It’s a great opportunity to showcase what we have at the Farmhouse, working with local artists, having local workshops and having fun events,” she said. “We love coming. We meet a lot of people who have never heard of us, so it’s great exposure for us.”
A first-time participant at Taste of Tupelo was Chris Garrison of Absolute Cleaning and Restoration. While the company has been in business for 13 years in Tupelo, it was the first time to participate.
“’I’m excited to meet more of the community,” Garrison said. “It’s an excellent opportunity for exposure.”
Another newcomer was Taylor Grocery, which is opening a catering operation in the city later this year. Its line was the longest on Thursday, but most seemed willing to wait.
“If you haven’t had their catfish, then you haven’t lived,” said Tonya Simms. “Their food is so good, and I can’t wait til they start catering. I wish they had a restaurant here, but I’ll take what I can get.” Read more: Daily Journal

Presented at the Illinois Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives (IACCE)
Annual Celebration & Awards Dinner Thursday, November 7, 2019,
this award honors an outstanding Illinois Chamber Executive.
"Desiree Bennyhoff (pictured on right with Mirinda Rothrock, president of the Decatur Regional Chamber) embodies the qualities of a true leader – not only at her chamber but just as importantly, in the wider community. Under her leadership, the Edwardsville/Glen Carbon Chamber of Commerce has thrived, showing that commitment to membership and strong leadership can grow an organization and positively impact its community,” said Jon Ridler, ACE, 2019 IACCE Chairman of the Board and Executive Director of the Arlington Heights Chamber of Commerce. “Over the last decade Desiree has illustrated her commitment to excellence, innovation and problem-solving – including partnering with her board to implement significant structural changes in a chamber that had grown dysfunctional and out-of-touch. By increasing her chamber’s value to its members, Desiree has, at the same time, significantly increased her organization’s profile and brand at the local, state and national levels.
The Distinguished Illinois Chamber of Commerce Executive Award - the Brann Award
- began in 1991 to recognize the exemplary performance and leadership of an Illinois chamber executive within their local chamber, community and to the chamber profession. The award is named in honor of Lester W. Brann, Jr., CCE, the first recipient of the award and past president of the Illinois Chamber of Commerce.
The award recognizes the long-term professional career achievements of the candidate. Criteria to be evaluated includes experience, training and education, service to IACCE and other professional organizations, service to Chamber colleagues, ethical conduct in dealing with others, a highly developed sense of professionalism, leadership and an abiding desire to advance the profession of Chamber management.
The last Bazaar After Dark of the year is Saturday in Menasha. Here's what to expect
The popular Bazaar After Dark night markets staged around the Fox Cities in recent years are often a thing of beauty — swarms of people enjoying a night out under twinkling light bulbs, accented by the occasional burst of flame.
How might a few snow flurries enhance the evening?
This weekend may be the time to find out, with the latest-ever staging of the Fox Cities Chamber of Commerce's free public celebration set for Saturday in Menasha. It's the third and final Bazaar After Dark for 2019.
The autumn setting is due in part to the chamber having to focus on another major Fox Cities gathering in September, Appleton's Octoberfest. (Pulse Young Professionals Network inside the chamber used to run Bazaar After Darks. Now the Pulse events are all folded into the chamber's operation). Beyond the colder temps, the market itself is getting a bit of a shakeup, with fewer vendors, a different entertainment stage setup and a few other tweaks.
