WHAT IS REAL REAL stands for Responsible and Enlightened Advocacy through Leadership. REAL's mission is to identify, educate and assist local candidates who understand the challenges faced by businesses.
REAL provides a forum through which the voice of business can be heard in local government offices.
REAL will also identify issues and highlight concerns that focus community attention on finding solutions to problems, planning for the future and making sound decisions based on accurate information. It's no wonder. After all, government officials make decisions daily that affect our lives and our livelihood. That's why participation in government affairs remains a top interest of Chamber of Commerce members. Chamber members, especially those who have already joined REAL, believe it is no longer enough to influence what government is doing.
