EVCCA

WHO WE ARE

The East Valley Chambers of Commerce Alliance is a coalition of several Arizona East Valley Chambers of Commerce seeking to represent the interests and needs of the businesses within the region. We are among the largest business advocates in the state.

Each year, the EVCCA produces two reports on the legislative session, the first of which establishes legislative positions, and the second which rates legislators on their positions. The EVCCA has its own lobbyist, Tom Dorn.

The EVCCA seeks to inform members of bills that will be on an upcoming ballot and their projected effect. Business owners in the East Valley need to be informed on issues that can affect their business so they can take action accordingly.
