The Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce and its Government Affairs Committee present Goverment Forums and the annual Economic Development Summit.  These forums, in addition to the Chamber's major annual lobbying trips to Albany and Washington, D.C., give Members the opportunity to meet with, network with, and hear from, leaders in government, including past speakers such as U.S. Senators Chuck E. Schumer and Hillary Rodham Clinton (2003), U.S. Representative Anthony Weiner and NYS Assemblyman Vito J. Lopez, Brooklyn's Democratic County Leader (2006).

Last year the Chamber hosted a Congressional Breakfast Forum featuring Congresswoman Nydia Velázquez, the new chairwoman of the U.S. House Small Business Committee.  The Chamber closed out the year with NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg at its Brooklyn Business Luncheon.

For 2008, the Chamber hosted its Economic Outlook Breakfast where Deputy Mayor of Economic Development and Rebuilding Robert C. Leiber was the keynote (pictured).
