Governmental Affairs Council
Bob Murray, Chair
The Chamber has always been a guiding force in keeping State and National government officials aware of issues important to Amarillo and the region as a whole. Its stance on important issues, such as its efforts to help bring about tort reform in Texas, has helped improve the business climate. The council surveys Chamber members to identify local concerns. It also hosts Panhandle Days in Austin and D.C. Days in Washington, which brings together Amarillo and regional citizens. They meet with Representatives, Senators and the Governor to discuss Panhandle issues. Additional council duties include hosting receptions and other gatherings to honor visiting state, national and foreign dignitaries.
