Part of our mission statement is to advocate for businesses and the community. Our Chamber Staff and Board maintain a strong working relationship with our local, regional and state representatives so that we can keep membership informed and foster a business-friendly environment within our county. These partnerships assist us when there is pro-business legislation for us to promote, and to provide a voice for the Yates County business community to ensure growth and job creation.
