All share in a mutual desire to achieve a better community for all citizens, thus making Chamber membership a tangible investment in the present and future welfare of both the individual and the community.
How Does it Work?
The Policies and programs of the Chamber are determined by the Board of Directors, elected by the membership. They, in turn, select a paid executive director whose function is to organize and execute the Chamber's programs.
You and the Chamber of Commerce
By simply being a dues paying member of the Chamber of Commerce, you help to achieve the Chamber's goals. However, your participation in committees and assisting in special events helps you establish contacts throughout the business and private community and is mutually beneficial. Not everyone can devote time to work on special events; but any resource contributed makes a big difference and is greatly appreciated. Your business comes first; we understand and support that. Even if you cannot attend every meeting or can only serve on an occasional project, your membership and contributions are still valued. |
