What is the Chamber?

The Northwest Chamber of Commerce is a 501(c) 6 non-profit, voluntary organization that unites businesses and citizens who invest their time and money in a community development program - working together to improve the economic, civic, and cultural well being of our area. It must be understood that a chamber of commerce is people. The Northwest Chamber of Commerce is a place for members to get involved and accomplish collectively what one could not alone.

What it is Not!

The chamber of commerce is not a department of the city, county or state government; a social, service or charitable institution; or a private advertising, publicity, or public relations agency.
