Arizona ˿Ƶ of Commerce & Industry recognized by U.S. ˿Ƶ of Commerce for outstanding advocacy

Arizona ˿Ƶ of Commerce & Industry President and CEO Danny Seiden on Monday was honored by the U.S. ˿Ƶ of Commerce with its 2022 Advocacy and Public Policy Award in a ceremony before the ˿Ƶ of Commerce Committee of 100, a group of the nation’s most respected state and metro chamber leaders.

The award was in recognition of Seiden and the Arizona ˿Ƶ’s legislative advocacy over the past year, which included furious opposition to the Build Back Better bill.

The Arizona ˿Ƶ conducted tele-town halls, garnered national media attention, and communicated to Capitol Hill Arizona job creators’ opposition to the bill.

The Arizona ˿Ƶ kept up the pressure throughout 2022 as the so-called Inflation Reduction Act took shape, ensuring that several provisions harmful to the business community were removed.

“Our members expect us to be fighting for good policy and against bad policy that hurts business. It’s that simple,” Seiden said. “We are proud of our advocacy on behalf of the job creators who power the U.S. and Arizona economies, and we intend to remain vocal in our advocacy for policies that will grow jobs, whether at the state Capitol or in the halls of Congress.”

The Arizona ˿Ƶ this week is holding its annual Washington, D.C. Fly-in, which allows members the chance to visit with the state’s congressional delegation and to hear from experts across a host of issue areas.
