| As a voluntary organization of business and professional
men and women the Chamber's goal has always been to promote civic
and business progress in our community. Our strength is in our 400
members who provide the financial and leadership support essential
for the programs vital to community growth and development.
Overall
the objectives of the Chamber include: coordinating the efforts
of commerce, industry and the professions in maintaining and strengthening
a sound and healthy business climate in the East Greenwich area;
sponsoring aggressive programs of work and stimulating activities
that will provide for full development and employment of our human
and economic resources; provide creative business leadership and
effective coordination of all interested parties in solving community
problems and initiating constructive community action and creation
of broad understanding and appreciation of the great opportunities
in the East Greenwich area and promoting the advantages and assets
of our community within the area, the state and the world.
The strength of the Chamber is built on the support and involvement
of the membership. It is readily apparent that people who get involved
in the Chamber get the biggest return on their investment. The tools
of Chamber involvement assist the membership in becoming better
known, aiding in their growth and development.
Our program of work is built around priorities which have been
identified as important to you. Building a solid "core" organization,
working with government in improving the climate for business and
presentation of programs and projects with networking and educational
return to the memership.
It is your input which will keep the Chamber on a direct course
and I look forward to your feedback and involvement.
