The Chamber awards the Spirit of Enterprise based on rankings it gives members of Congress for key business votes, set out in its annual publication, How They Voted. Votes included in the rankings are Chamber-designated "key votes," recorded floor votes on issues established as priorities by the Chamber’s board of directors on which the Chamber communicates its position prior to the vote.
Members of Congress who support the Chamber’s position on at least 70 percent of key votes receive the Spirit of Enterprise Award. For the second session of the 107th Congress, the Chamber designated 20 Senate votes and 20 House votes as key votes.
