The following goals and the means by which to achieve them are offered as essential to setting the stage for the State Chamber to play the leading role in helping Delaware’s companies emerge from the economic downturn intact and prosperous, especially in comparison with others in our region of the country:

• Promote positive economic growth and actively monitor laws and regulations that are barriers to responsible growth by working with the State Administration in the execution of Livable Delaware and with legislators at all levels in government on issues such as workers compensation costs, environmental legislation, education and work force development, spending and legal reforms.
• Reinforce the notion that, as the largest business organization in the state with the most diverse types of businesses, the State Chamber is the best and fastest gateway for obtaining informed and demographically diverse information and resources from the private sector. We will also use coalitions as much as possible to have a stronger voice in policy decision making and to minimize duplication of effort.
• Encourage more interaction between large corporate representatives and businesspeople from small and medium-sized companies to reinforce the importance of business as the engine that drives the Delaware economy.
