First to improve the technology with which the Chamber conducts its business, and second to strengthen our membership. The Chamber needs to conduct business, like many of you, over the Internet. To upgrade our technology, we have installed three new computers in the Chamber offices and Comcast will install our new Internet line. We are also upgrading our Web site to reflect the most current information about the Chamber. These upgrades will enable the Chamber to provide members many on line services such as events registration, membership application and renewal, and e-mail communications with the Chamber staff.
Membership is critical to the continuation of any organization.
This is especially true of the Chamber, which is a member driven organization. At any given time, at least 1,000 to 1,200 companies and organizations are dues paying members. An overwhelming majority of these members have held membership in the Chamber for many years. They have contributed freely of their time, energy, and funds to make our Chamber one of the best Chambers in Maryland. You are the key to a strong Chamber that represents the business interests in Harford County.
