Thank you to those who responded to our Policy Agenda Survey! Your priorities have helped set the 2021 Policy Agenda.
This year's focus is on supporting and sustaining small businesses. Read on to find out what NCBC will be doing to create a better economy for business like yours to thrive.
Every day NCBC works to amplify our voices on issues anchored by our core beliefs and our commitment to ensuring that all businesses with a purpose have a voice in advocating for equitable economic policies that sustain our local communities, secure our environment and support all people.
In drafting our 2021 Policy Agenda, we recognized that the economic events of the past year have made two facts indisputably clear:
Small businesses are an essential part of North Carolina’s economy, employing more than 1.7 million workers and contributing about 44% of the US’s gross domestic product.
Much more needs to be done to support and sustain small businesses in North Carolina.
Therefore, NCBC expanded our 2021 Policy Agenda to include a separate advocacy pillar that focuses specifically on the development of policies and tactics that ensure the resiliency of our small businesses.
