Connecting Civic Leaders & Businesses
Legislative Events
Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce is proud to offer events connecting you with lawmakers helping you stay informed about policy issues impacting your business and community.
Every year, we travel to Columbia to meet with members of the S.C. General Assembly to show appreciation to the state senators and representatives for the time they spend working on the many issues impacting Grand Strand businesses.
Don’t miss your chance to talk about issues important to our area and help educate the legislators about the significant impact the Grand Strand has on the state’s economy.
Complimentary bus transportation is available from the chamber’s Oak Street office.
Join us on Feb. 24, 2026!
