About Chamber

A Chamber of Commerce is a community's business advocate. How this mechanism is best utilized is determined by the needs and desires of business and the community.

A Chamber of Commerce may be defined as a "vehicle" for mobilizing people to accomplish agreed-upon goals for the betterment of the community.

Its specific purpose is to:
· Increase business growth and development of jobs within the market.
· Assist in the orderly growth and envelopment of the community and its people.
· Contribute to building healthy markets to assure economic stability.
· Retain the private enterprise system with free competitive markets.

A spirit of volunteerism and desire to contribute something back to the community are two important components, helping to lay the foundation of a Chamber of Commerce.
