The Chamber aims to mobilize staff, volunteers, members, and businesses throughout the community to work together to achieve economic success for all. Together, they strive to keep the area’s economy at a level that encourages development and growth. Events, mixers, fundraisers, and meetings, carried out by the Chamber, help to achieve this goal. As a member, you can have a say in advocacy efforts and the things you would like to see the Chamber focus on moving forward. Strong membership involvement will increase the impact and effectiveness of the organization as a whole.

These programs are chosen and designed so that the savings generated often offsets the cost of membership.
