| 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.
