As noted throughout this year and in our Final Legislative Report, the Indiana Chamber loudly championed pro-economy, pro-jobs legislation and staunchly opposed efforts to harm free enterprise. The result was an exceptionally good year for your return on your Chamber membership investment. In fact, it’s the HIGHEST on record!
Hoosier businesses received savings of $4.1 billion, which equals $1,451 for every Indiana employee! That savings is far greater than your Chamber dues per employee!
That was achieved by the Indiana Chamber supporting legislation to enhance the state’s business tax climate and economic development efforts, as well as opposing potential obstacles in the employer/employee relationship.
