HOW THE CHAMBER WORKS

The Chamber of Commerce functions through working committees of the organization. Money, planning, inspirations and guidance are useless unless the members work vigorously on committees of their choice.

The goal of the Chamber is always to create more dollars for more people and to improve the economic welfare of the community.

Every member has a voice in determining the policies and projects, events or committees to get the job done.
