What Does A Chamber Do?
The Chamber of Commerce is a catalyst — a common vehicle mobilizing enlightened members from all segments of the business community to work together for the common good of the total community. With the aim of achieving economic success, staff, volunteers and business people strive to keep their area’s economic conditions at a level where businesses and residents willingly and enthusiastically risk their capital in their community in the hope of making a profit.Everything else the Chamber does is a means to an end (events, mixers, fundraisers and meetings).

If the Chamber of Commerce is large enough, the Board employs an administrative head.
