What is a Chamber of Commerce?

A chamber of Commerce is a voluntary group of the business community uniting the efforts of business and professional individuals to ensure a healthy economic and socioeconomic base to benefit the entire community. The Chamber of Commerce harnesses the tremendous potential of the private enterprise system and enables its membership to accomplish collectively what no one could do individually.

What does the Chamber do?

The Chamber represents and promotes the area's economy, and encourages business and industrial investment, broadening the tax base and providing employment. To business prospects and newcomers, the Chamber represents the community's self image.

Chamber of Commerces are increasingly involved in non-commercial areas, such as education, human relations, environmental, cultural and governmental concerns. These challenges have caused Chambers of Commerce to become a viable force in seeking solutions to today's social problems. Chambers of Commerce influence national, state and local legislation affecting business.

Who finances the Chamber?

The Chamber of Commerce is a "business" and it incurs costs of operations and expenses similar to any other type of business. Those expenses are apportioned among its members, individuals and firms, representing all types of business, industry and the professions. All share a mutual desire to achieve a better community for all its citizens. Chamber of Commerce membership is an investment in the present and future welfare of both the individual and their community.

Why join the Chamber?

The Chamber of Commerce is the sales representative for its community and businesses -- unceasingly promoting their products and services -- and at the same time is their watchdog -- protecting their interests, particularly in the political arena. The united voice of the Chamber of Commerce has often proven effective and beneficial to business where a single voice can go unheard. The benefit of belonging to the Chamber is full-time representation and year-round results.

When should I join?

Today! The opportunities available to you as a Chamber member are profitable and help the community. The benefits are tangible for the individual as well as the community. Today's investment in your Chamber of Commerce will produce immediate results and continued returns. If commitment is what you feel about your business and your community's future, contact your Chamber of Commerce office today at 295-1064.
