Charleston Area Chamber Of Commerce
Mission Statement:
To be the principal representative of and advocate for area business while stimulating economic growth
Strategic Goals:
Meet the needs of Chamber members and their employees to help them achieve business growth and professional development by offering value-added programs, services and events.
Serve as an effective advocate for the business community relative to governmental activity at the federal, state, and local levels.
Be the proactive leader in collaborative initiatives which contribute to economic growth and develop a sense of community and cooperation in the county.
About Us:
The Charleston Area Chamber of Commerce is an independent, not-for-profit corporation chartered in 1919, responsible for promoting the economic climate in the greater Charleston, Illinois area.
The Chamber of Commerce is a voluntary membership organization which unites business and professional leaders and firms, creating a central organization with a mission to improve the business climate and build a better community.
It has been said that a Chamber's role is to "manage change" by acting as a facilitator in bringing the right people together to make things happen. A Chamber of Commerce enables its members to accomplish what no one of them could do individually.
The Chamber's strength lies in attracting the greatest number of individuals and firms into membership, thereby creating a pool of resources from which can be drawn ideas, energy, and finances.
In addition to the all encompassing goal of community development, the Chamber has an obligation to provide "value-added" benefits to its members which they would not be able to get from any other professional or trade association.
