State and Federal Government Affairs Program

Colorado's state government has a big impact on the business climate. Education, transportation, legal reform and labor law are just some of the issues at the state level.

To amplify the voice of Northern Colorado in Denver, the Fort Collins Area Chamber of Commerce partners with other business organizations through the Northern Colorado Legislative Alliance (NCLA).

By pooling their resources, the partners of NCLA have secured the a lobbyist in Denver. NCLA establishes annual legislative priorities, meets regularly with state and federal elected officials, tracks pending legislation, mobilizes business people on specific legislation and produces a legislator vote scorecard.  For more information about the Chamber's state legislative program, visit the NCLA's website or contact David May, President & CEO, at davidmay@fcchamber.org or call (970) 482-3746.
