Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Chamber of Commerce?
Chambers of commerce are business and community associations, generally incorporated as a 501(c)(6) business. Chambers of commerce are not part of local, state, or federal government, though chambers do often partner with government to accomplish the chamber mission.
How is the Chamber funded?
Chambers of commerce are funded by membership dues as well as non-dues items, such as events, sponsorships, contracts, and sales of various products and services. The vast majority of chamber membership rolls are small businesses with fewer than 20 to 35 employees, on average. Today’s chamber of commerce, rather than being narrowly focused on one particular industry, issue, cause, or activity, focus on a broad range of activities and support for both businesses and communities.
What do Chambers do?
Chambers of commerce provide opportunities for members to make an impact on critical business and community issues. Together with other talented leaders in business, community, and government, chamber members and professional staff work to make the community a better place to work, live, and play by building leading businesses and communities.
