The Power of Policy

Public policy has the power to create or curtail opportunity for economic growth and prosperity in Massachusetts and that is why we pay attention.

At AIM we know that a thriving business community means a thriving Massachusetts. That’s why we work closely with our members and the business community at large to identify, research, and address the issues that employers care most about – from health care, employment law, and sustainability to budget, taxes, and finance.

We are the only Massachusetts business organization with the size, influence, and professional talent to successfully enact pro-business legislation and regulation. Our public policy work and dedicated lobbying are shaping the future of business.

Brian Burke

“In the midst of the enormous challenges presented by COVID-19 and
unprecedented economic disruption, AIM engaged effectively on key
legislation, policy, and corporate citizenship issues. This success was
clearly a result of their strong relationships, depth of knowledge,
and outstanding reputation.”
