“WHAT DOES THE CHAMBER DO FOR ME?”
This is a pertinent question and one the Chamber is obligated to answer and not with the usual stuff you find in Bylaws and general program definition. When you go to a supermarket you have something in hand when you pay your bill at the check out. When you pay your annual dues to the Chamber, it is understandable that you expect something in return so here are some.
