93 South Dakota Chamber of Commerce and Industry Legislative Review Process

The Board of Directors has the authority and responsibility to determine what issue positions are taken by the South Dakota Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

The Chamber’s legislative review process is conduct- ed throughout the year at quarterly Board of Director meetings. The Chamber’s President and Chief Lob- byist is responsible for bringing issues to the Board that will be discussed during the legislative session. These discussions set guidelines and develop general positions aimed at articulating broad philosophical parameters on the issues.

The review process takes place during the Board’s weekly legislative conference call. Rather than have a specific legislative committee, the board acts as a “committee of whole” in taking action on specific bills.

The Chamber’s leadership understands that legis- lation can move quickly and that the President will need to make statements based on his or her best application of Board discussions on any given issue.

94 Notes and Updates

95 The South Dakota Chamber’s Business Day at the Legislature is your opportunity to have a voice in the process. Join us for an up-to-the-minute legislative update and vote your opinions during Business Caucus.

This annual event is held during President’s week and brings together business and community leaders from throughout the State. Hear from leading speakers and network with your colleagues.
