 The Chamber of Commerce is a non-profit
association of business and professional people who are
concerned about improving the area in which they do business.
Strength lies in numbers. So, there are never too many
members. The success of the Chamber relies on the number of
members and how much time and money they contribute.
The
Chamber is a partner to every business in the area. Both big
business and small business have the opportunity to influence
the program of work and that helps to select the community’s
destiny.
These
businesses also rely on contacts. Chamber membership gives
business a network of those valuable contacts that can’t be
obtained as easily elsewhere.
A Chamber of
Commerce is a democratic organization. Active membership means a
stronger voice in the direction the Chamber takes and the
economic future of the area where member businesses are located.
That means more money for local businesses.
Membership cost is small for value returned because the value
returned is continued growth and prosperity. Being a member of the Hardee County
Chamber of Commerce also gives a business the opportunity to
participate in the many membership incentives our Chamber has to
offer.
