Vista City Chamber of Commerce

The chamber of commerce is a local organization of businesses whose goal is to further the interests of businesses. The CoC advocates on behalf of the business community. Local businesses are members, and they elect a board of directors to set policy for the chamber. The board or council then hires a President, CEO or Executive Director, plus staffing appropriate to size, to run the organization.
The Vista City Chamber of Commerce is typical of the type, rife with local petty politics and pointless attempts at Empire building. They work on the local level to bring the business community together to develop strong local networks, which can result in a business-to-business exchange. They also work with the mayor and city council to develop pro-business initiatives that favor them.
==Chamber of Commerce Board==
Usually a Chamber of Commerce seat is seen as an entry into the world of real politics. There are a few whose ambitions go no further, or are shills for other interests. 
*Richard Fanna -- President: Heads meetings, acts as the public spokesperson of the CoC He does not have a vote. News anchor looks and manner. No surprise he is an ex news anchor. Teaches media Journalism at Vista City Community Collage.
*Micheal Phelps -- Board Member: Team Blue Young gun out to make a mark. Too bad the CoC hasn't bought a sharpie in years. He will be looking for an entry into partisan politics shortly.
*Roselyn Morgan -- Board Member: Mothers Against Everything All her suggestions are necessary "for the children ". Advocates for far more power than a chamber of commerce has. Ms. Morgan is entrenched. she has no further ambitions.
*Carl McKenna -- Board Member: The brother of Mark McKenna. Believed to be the real power that keeps business money flowing into Team Blue coffers. Old Pol that is doing "community minded service", and seeing that the CoC is a proving ground for young team blue politicians.
*Mae Beth Dare -- Board Member: Still running for Miss Chamber of Commerce. Once in a while keeps alive the suspicion she might have a brain. Cannot spell ambition.
*William O’Connell -- Board Member: Team Blue Aw shucks good ol' boy that is much sharper than he plays. A former city council member that got tired of the game.
