The membership runs the Chamber. They annually elect a Board of Directors who selects a slate of officers including the hiring of staff personnel. Committees made up of Chamber members are appointed to plan and work in the various fields of Chamber activity with the Chamber staff guiding and coordinating the efforts to accomplish the Chamber's program in line with policies established by the Board of Directors. The Best way is to serve on a committee whose activities cover the field in which you are interested or arrange to attend a Chamber meeting and be included on the agenda to present your plans and ideas. The ideas are discussed and recommendations are made.
Most Chambers have a minimum membership fee for voting and membership privileges.
From this base, fees are increased on size of business, so each firm pays its own fair share. La Junta, Colorado Chamber of Commerce , All rights reserved.
