Polarization–creating “us-versus-them” division–is as old as time. While some people thrive on it, one of a chamber's enduring roles is to find common ground. Chamber leaders must adapt by strengthening their facilitation skills, fostering inclusive dialogue and promoting collaborative solutions to benefit the broader community.

The reasons for this are clear:

Business leaders represent a variety of political interests and parties. Chambers work on behalf of all members.
Businesses share common interests that transcend political or social differences like the need for skilled workers, an interest in keeping taxes fair and a pro-growth regulatory environment.
Political issues have evolved over the centuries, but the fundamental need for businesses to have a voice in these discussions has only increased. What’s more, the voice of business has a positive effect; while elected officials often find themselves at the bottom of “most trusted” lists, business leaders and chambers of commerce are often at the top.
