Our Involvement 

Business High Point - Chamber of Commerce cannot and does not endorse political candidates; however, we recognize public policy affects our members and their businesses. 

Understanding this, we identified the need for a political voice in our community and supported the formation of H.P.P.A. 

To fulfill our Government Advocacy initiative, we educate our membership on local, state and federal policy.  When necessary, we advocate a pro-business position at these levels of government on behalf of our 800+ members, which collectively represent a diverse business community. When we advocate on behalf of our members, we do so in a way that is clear, principled, and proactive in shaping federal, state and local policy to promote the economic vitality of our community.
