Frequently Asked Questions

The chamber of commerce definition is a local organization that gathers business leaders working in the community. The intention is to advance the goals and interests of your organization and others operating in the area. It’s usually a group of locally owned businesses that have a common interest.

The specifics that an individual chamber of commerce does can vary significantly. Some are very active and offer lots of opportunities, while others don’t do much beyond the basics. Evaluating an organization you’re thinking about joining can help you understand what you’re getting for your membership fees.

Our focus is to small businesses by leveraging Technology. We believe that in this modern era, technology enables the effective sharing of data to address some of society’s biggest challenges and help businesses be more innovative, efficient, and productive.

Chamber of commerce isn’t a government agency to receive any money from the government. Chambers of commerce are often operated as nonprofit organizations, which means they aren’t trying to make a profit. Instead, they aim to make just enough money to support their activities.

The group raises funds itself through various sources, including:

• Member dues: All businesses that join the chamber of commerce pay dues in exchange for the benefits they receive. Some organizations have different membership levels with varying benefits and higher fees for more benefits.
• Fundraiser events: Some groups hold fundraising events within the community to finance their activities.
• Private donations: Private donors sometimes contribute to the funding for a local chamber of commerce.
• Event entry fees: Some events that a chamber of commerce hosts, such as trade fairs, might include an entry fee, which helps with fundraising efforts.
