Question: What should young professionals be on the lookout for in the 2021 legislative session?

Answer: The biggest indicator of the state’s priorities are set in the budget and appropriations processes. Regardless of the issue(s) most important to a particular young professional – education, healthcare, the environment, etc. – all of these are addressed in the state’s budget processes.

Question: Why should young professionals be involved in the Chamber’s Issue Committees?

Answer: The Chamber’s issue committees give great insight into the hundreds of bills that are introduced at the State Legislature each year. These committees are a great arena to learn more about the intersection of business and government.

Question: What policy related opportunities does the Chamber’s VYP program provide?

Answer: Several of the VYP events each year give members the opportunity to hear directly from our elected officials. We were recently able to hear from a bipartisan pair of millennial legislators who were able to speak to the concerns of young professionals in Phoenix.
