We are asked all the time, “Which Chamber of Commerce should I join?”
There is certainly NOT one right answer for everyone. There are MANY variables within that response, which are seriously based on what is ACTUALLY the question.
Which Chamber of Commerce really WORKS to grow one’s business ??? Let’s think about that – ANY Chamber will help you grow your business IF and ONLY IF, you ‘work’ that organization effectively.
Any Chamber of Commerce staff member will tell you, the purpose of their Chamber is to support the local Community and to support the local Economy. To THAT end, YOU are a part of that Community and a part of that Economy…so NOW the effectiveness of that Chamber to grow YOUR business is UP TO YOU !!!
Check out the websites of the Chambers of Commerce you are considering for Membership. Is it an ‘active’ and ‘current’ site ??? Are there several upcoming events listed ??? Are guests allowed and ENCOURAGED to visit a time or two before making a Membership decision ???
Please remember, ANY group/organization ‘works’ if YOU work the group. YOUR Networking skills are the key/s to your success, so before you decide which Chamber of Commerce to join, LOOK IN THE MIRROR and ask yourself, HOW ACTIVE will I be in this organization ???
