What is the Belgrade Chamber of Commerce?
The Belgrade Chamber of Commerce is a voluntary
association of business people working to improve the economic
and civic vitality of our community...an organization financed
entirely by member investments and projects...independent of
all other organizations and groups.
To put it in general terms, the Chamber of
Commerce is people...people who join together to solve common
problems and advance programs which make this area a better place
to live, work and do business.
That's right! The Chamber of Commerce is
you! YOU... and the man that you buy your gas from, the doctor
that takes care of your family, the people that own the grocery
store, the person that makes the widget, or the person who sold
you your house. But, don't forget, the Chamber is business...and
it's business is yours! The purpose is not to make a profit in
dollars and cents, but rather to profit its members through an
improved market place.
What Does it Cost Me?
Would you believe that the basic investor
in the Chamber pays less than 45 cents for the daily service of
the Chamber of Commerce? That's not reasonable, that's cheap.
Of course not every business pays the same, because not every
business is the same in the size of its physical or financial
stake in the community. In fact, the investment spread is quite
significant from a minimum of $175 investment to $600 paid by
the larger businesses. Dues paid to the Chamber can be use as
a business deduction!
