What is a Chamber of Commerce? What we are... We are an organization of more than three hundred businesses and professional men and women who have joined together to work for the solution of our mutual business and community problems. By working with others, small business people can have the clout to get things done, We work to preserve our business system and promote and manage business growth and development. In other words, we are the community's Department of Progress! What we're not Our Chamber is not a part of the city, county or state government, a political party or function, a civic or social club or welfare agency. How we operate… As a member, you will elect a Board of Directors who will determine policy and program. Together you and the Board will provide manpower and finances to address those areas of concern as determined by you and other members. Committees will recommend policy and program and carry out policies and projects approved by the Board. The staff will provide advisory, technical, research and clerical assistance. Your investment... 1. You help the Chamber assure that the economic, social and political needs of the community are being met. 2. You get 2 free advertisements in newsletter per year, plus membership labels! 3. You gain another pair of eyes. Eyes of specialized observers to maintain a watch on legislation which affects everyone in our community; watching to be sure the "quality of life" of Princeton and Mercer County is maintained. 4. You gain a strong, unified voice to present your views on legislation, taxes, employment, trade and other issues. 5. You gain another pair of hands doing research, preparing letters, developing information and telling the story of your market. 6. You gain an additional sales office. We tell the real story of our community. We sell the facts and figures. A new business partner. Your responsibility... We urge all members to join committees and get involved. We urge members to respond to our calls for assistance, whether it be for projects,' ideas, or news articles. We urge all members to support other Chamber members, i.e., shopping at their business establishments or recommending them to visitors, etc. Over and over again… The Chamber has proven that by working together, we are all better. We bring together the forces of economic, industrial, small business, community and tourism development under one roof.
