Local chambers are the lifeblood of the communities they serve and especially here in Wisconsin, they do good work. Most local chambers are focused primarily on regional issues and many are involved in area economic development activities.
The state chamber has a different focus and mission. The primary purpose of Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce is to be a strong advocate for employers at the state and federal level through legislative, political and legal action.
Located in downtown Madison, just blocks from the State Capitol, WMC’s experts include five government relations specialists who work hard every day to improve the business climate for businesses of all sizes and from every sector of the economy. Representing more than 3,800 job creators and nearly 500,000 hard-working employees statewide, WMC serves as a powerful voice for Wisconsin employers.
