The East Valley Chambers of Commerce Alliance (EVCCA) will host its 2026 Ballot Issues Forum on Thursday, Sept.3, from 8 to 11 a.m., in the Rio Salado Conference Center. 

This event works to bring business leaders and community stakeholders together to learn more about key ballot initiatives that could impact businesses across Arizona.

With Arizona entering an election year featuring a gubernatorial race and other important races, the forum will provide an opportunity for attendees to hear from advocacy experts about some of the most talked-about initiatives expected to appear on the 2026 ballot.

The forum is designed to provide business owners and community leaders with information they can use as they consider the issues appearing on the 2026 ballot. Speakers will discuss what the initiatives mean and how they could affect businesses if passed.

The EVCCA is a coalition of East Valley chambers of commerce working to represent the interests and needs of businesses throughout the region. The alliance works to keep business owners informed about legislative and ballot issues that may affect their businesses and the broader business environment.
