Advocacy for our Business Community

East Providence Area Chamber of Commerce

A Proud Member of the Rhode Island Chamber of Commerce Coalition

There is strength in numbers. East Providence Area Chamber of Commerce is represented by the Chamber of Commerce Coalition lobbyists who focus on issues that concern the business community...our members.

The Coalition is comprised of 13 Rhode Island chambers of commerce and represents 12,500 businesses and 75,000 employees throughout the state. It is the largest business advocacy organization in Rhode Island. Participating chambers are: Central Rhode Island, Cranston, East Bay, East Greenwich, Narragansett, Newport County, North Central, Northern Rhode Island, North Kingstown, Pawtuxet Valley, South Kingstown & Greater Westerly-Pawcatuck .

The most important value of this membership is that it enables the East Providence Area Chamber to work collaboratively with other chambers to create change regarding legislative agendas and other issues affecting the business community in Rhode Island. Each chamber has equal voting rights and has the option of not participating in certain issues.  The Coalition’s lobbyists also keep the members of the organization informed of bills being introduced that may affect the business community (legislation of interest) and they report on bill tracking.
