A Chamber of Commerce is a volunteer-driven organization that unites the business and professional leaders in an area to expand the economy of the area. Chambers provide a venue through which members can get involved and accomplish collectively what no one business could do alone. Today, Chambers have become community organizations to recognize all the factors which affect their community and adjust their programs accordingly. A Chamber of Commerce is not a department of the city, county or state government; a social service or charitable institution; a private advertising, publicity or public relations agency.
