Welcome to the
Maine State
Chamber of Commerce!
Maine's rich history, vibrant
communities, and unparalleled work ethic make our state a fabulous place to
work and live. As the voice of Maine Business, we represent a
network of 5,000 businesses of all sectors, sizes, and regions. We
advocate on their behalf daily before the Legislature, state departments,
and various levels of state government. We also offer many programs
and partnerships to help you do what you do best ... run your business.
On December 1, 2010, the 125th
Legislature took its Oath of Office. As this session progresses, we have not
doubt that there will be some challenges, with growing budget gaps,
potential cuts in state programs, and of course, the volume of bills that
traditionally accompanies a long session. As they begin the work
before them, we anticipate legislators will face many of the same difficult
choices and complex issues as their predecessors. And our team stands
ready to work with them to carve out fair solutions for Maine employers and
employees alike.
By supporting legislation that enables you to
operate more efficiently and to invest in your employees and your company,
we are proactively dedicated to making Maine an affordable and prosperous
place to do business. We are also diligent in opposing legislation
that will weaken Maine's ability to compete in a global and regional
marketplace.
Rest assured - while you are working hard to make a living, we at the Maine
State Chamber of Commerce are also hard at work supporting your ambition,
tenacity, and Yankee ingenuity. Together, the voice of Maine business
is strong and clear.
