Often, the most damaging policies start at the local level, spread to neighboring jurisdictions, and then make their way to a statewide policy. CFCA's four local chapters serve as communities to respond to and activate when local governments are considering and passing such policies that heavily impact the industry.

CFCA advocates for our members at all levels, but bringing in the many voices and faces of small businesses in local communities proves vital to expressing the true impact of policies to local city councils.
