What Does a Chamber Do?

The Camrose & District Chamber of Commerce has always stood for promoting business; monitoring municipal, provincial and federal governments; and championing managed growth in the local economy. By investing in your local Chamber of Commerce, you invest in your own prosperity – both as a businessperson and as a member of the community.

A Chamber of Commerce is a non-profit organization designed to meet community or area needs. It is a voluntary organization of progressive individuals and businesses that work together to advance the commercial, financial, industrial, and civic interests of a community

The Chamber of Commerce is funded by the membership with the assistance of fundraising activities such as: Jaywalker’s Jamboree, Business Excellence Awards, Kick’N Country Parade, and the Chamber Corporate Christmas Party.

A Board of Directors, elected by the Chamber Members, runs the organization. The Board, serving as volunteers, sets the policies and goals of the organization, and the Chamber Staff work with the Board to conduct the business of the Chamber.

Our volunteers provide the ideas, the drive, the goals, the funds and the voluntary services to keep the Chamber of Commerce motivated and operating.

The major benefit of membership is that the Chamber of Commerce acts as the united voice of businesses. The Chambers of Commerce also provide our members with value-added programs available only to members (i.e. merchant rates, comprehensive group insurance, courier and natural gas to name a few). The savings from these programs often offsets the cost of membership.

Strong membership involvement in its activities will increase the impact and effectiveness of the organization. Chamber of Commerce membership is an investment in the present and future of the individual’s and the community’s welfare.

In any community, it is from the profitable operation of business that all other benefits result. Only by succeeding in this fundamental goal can a community provide the jobs and produce the wealth to finance all of the cultural, charitable, and various other needs a community is faced with every day.
