GETTING
STARTED
How
to become involved and take advantage of The Business Council's
many valuable programs and services.
How
do I begin?
To receive full value
on your investment, we encourage you to become an active participant
with The Business Council. We invite you to join any of our
committees or councils and take advantage of all the services
we offer that meet your needs.
Who
do I need to know?
By joining The Business Council, you have immediately
increased the size of your staff. Your new Government Affairs
staff members are highly knowledgeable in environmental regulations,
workers' compensation matters, health care reform and many
other issues that affect your bottom line. Their areas of
expertise, and their direct phone extensions, are found in
The Staff Directory.
How
does it help me?
We can say with pride
that, over the years, The Business Council has developed
a reputation as New York's most powerful and effective
business advocate. Our government Affairs staff is widely
regarded as the most experienced professionals in Albany.
We're proud of the team we've assembled - and want you
to put them to work for you.
Staff members spend a great
deal of time at the Capitol working to ensure that the
voice of business is heard. They spend every bit as much
time, however, responding to the questions and needs of
our members.
Call us whenever we can help. As a "can-do" partner
with you, we pride ourselves on keeping you informed and
helping you solve your problems.
How
do I begin Service?
Your
membership record is established upon receipt of your membership
application. The information contained on your application
is immediately entered into our computer in order to assure
you prompt delivery of our newsletters and communications.
Who
in my company is eligible to receive Business Council Services?
Any
employee you select from your company, or one of its subsidiaries,

facility managers and issue-specific experts such as environmental
and tax managers.
How
do I get these services?
Simply
call your membership representative at 800-358-1202 and your
requests will be immediately processed.
Is
there a charge?
