 What is the Chamber of Commerce

The Central Baldwin Chamber of Commerce is a voluntary organization of business and professional men and women who have joined together for the purpose of promoting the civic and commercial progress of our community.

There are two primary functions of a chamber of commerce:
(1) It acts as a spokesperson for the business and professional community and translates into action the group thinking of its members, and
(2) it renders specific services of a type that can be most effectively rendered by a community organization both to its members and to the community as a whole.

The area’s economic well-being is related directly to the caliber of work that is done by the Chamber. That is why the Central Baldwin Chamber of Commerce has a major impact on business, income and future growth of the area.
