The most valuable thing about the Chamber for us is that they listen to what problems are being caused by local legislators, who we don’t have any direct lines of communication with. These decisions often heavily impact our businesses ability to survive.
The Chamber will then lobby the legislators to reverse (or at least edit) those decisions which results in a much lower impact to our business. I think the Chamber have had a nearly 100% success rate in helping with those issues over the years which makes the Chamber an invaluable resource to us.
