Southeastern Massachusetts Alliance of Chambers (SEMAC) 2019 Public Policy Agenda Presentation

SEMAC includes the following chambers: Bristol County, Cape Cod Canal Region, Cranberry Country, Plymouth Area, Sandwich, SouthCoast, Taunton Area, Tri-Town and United Regional. SEMLAC was formed in 2018 to provide a more significant voice for the region on Beacon Hill and with our congressional delegation. The alliance works on a consensus model and only weighs in on issues of importance to the region and only speaks as an alliance when all participant chambers have agreed on a position.  Each chamber will have the opportunity to take on a leadership role on a rotating basis. Each year, SEMLAC will prepare an annual work plan and legislative agenda to be presented to each chamber?s respective boards of directors for approval. Once approved, SEMLAC will meet in person or by monthly conference call to discuss issues of importance that speak directly to the approved annual agenda, form a collective opinion and choose the best form of communicating with legislators, their members and the public.
