Welcome and thank you for your interest in membership with the Maine State Chamber of Commerce ... the voice of Maine business.

Statehouse Connection
Businesses throughout the state are effected each year by legislation made in Augusta. It's difficult to stay on top of issues that can directly, or indirectly, effect your company - such as taxes, workers' compensation, the environment, health care, and education reform. Our experienced governmental affairs specialists work year-round to represent the needs of your business to decision-makers.

Legislative Outreach
Legislative updates published weekly in our newsletter, IMPACT, explain, in language you can understand, how state laws and mandates will effect your company. Also, when hot topics arise, you can count on us to send requests for support along with an explanation of the debates in Augusta, and how they can effect your business.

Ask Advocacy Helpline [more info]
Interested in an issue being discussed at the Statehouse? Have a question about a particular bill? Our FREE Ask Advocacy helpline connects you directly with a governmental affairs expert.
