A Chamber of Commerce is a not-for-profit, membership organisation dedicated to supporting its members and improving the business climate and quality of living within its geographic territory. A Chamber of Commerce is not a department or agency of the Government (local or national), but it will work in partnership with them, as well as other bodies/organisations representing other sections of the business community or civic society, to further the interests of its members and promote a stronger economy that creates more opportunities for a fulfilling and rewarding life for local people.
