Advocacy Leadership
Our volunteers help to direct the work we do at COSE by providing valuable input and experiences. And, COSE's Advocacy Committee is no different. The COSE Advocacy Committee provides a forum for volunteers to discuss, research and share the specific values, principles and policies of COSE regarding public issues affecting our members. It is through this forum that COSE's small business advocacy decisions are made. In the end, the overall goal of COSE’s Advocacy Committee is to position COSE as the leading small business advocacy organization in the region and state.
