Government Affairs for the Lewisville Area Chamber of Commerce is a key component in assuring that each member has a voice in business issues that affect them on the city, county, state and national level.  During the monthly meeting, a keynote message is provided on a local, state or federal issue along with updates on topics such as current and pending legislation, transportation, roads, etc.
