What Is A Chamber of Commerce?

A Chamber of Commerce is a voluntary federation of the business community uniting the efforts of business and professional individuals to ensure a healthy economic and social-economic base to benefit the entire community. The Chamber harnesses the tremendous potential of the private enterprise system and enables its membership to accomplish collectively what no one could do individually.

How Does It Work?

The policies and programs of your Chamber are determined by the Board of Directors elected by the membership. The Board establishes goals, sets policies, appoints committees, and works to establish and promote programs and projects which benefit the entire city. Through participation in events you can work side by side with the other movers and shakers of the Garfield community.

What Does It Do?

Chambers of Commerce are increasingly involved in non-commercial areas, including but not limited to education, human relations, environmental, cultural, and governmental concerns. These challenges have caused Chambers of Commerce to become a viable force in seeking solutions to today's social problems. Chambers of Commerce influence national, state and local legislation affecting businesses and the businesses community.
