AN OVERVIEW OF THE DODGE CITY CHAMBER…
What is a Chamber of Commerce?
The Chamber is a not-for-profit state chartered voluntary organization of
business, industry, and professional men and women who have pooled their
individual talents and monies together for the common good. By doing so, the
Chamber is able to work on objectives designed to enhance the business climate
and improve the quality of life in Dodge City and the surrounding area.
How does the Chamber work?
The Chamber currently has 650 business members that financially support a
professionally staffed office. The staff helps carry out the goals and
objectives set each year by the members. The elected Board of Directors governs
the staff. Committees and task forces accomplish local goals, while the staff
conducts the business of the organization and works on goals requiring full-time
attention.
Why is it important to have an active Chamber?
An excellent Chamber of Commerce means the difference between a stagnant town
and a thriving community. The majority of economic development progress,
business retention and expansion success, quality of life solutions and many
other positive growth elements come directly from Chamber activity and
participation.
What good does that do me?
The work that the Chamber does for the community benefits you and every
business, every industry and virtually every other person living in Ford County.
If the Chamber didn’t do this job, no one else would (or is equipped to).
Why should I join?
The Chamber’s strength comes from its members. Membership provides the funds to
continue the vital role of the Chamber in Dodge City, while providing valuable
benefits to you as a member.
What is a Chamber of Commerce not?
A Chamber of Commerce is not a department of the city, county, or state
governments. A Chamber is not a social, service, welfare or charitable club or
organization.
Mission Statement:
The mission of the Dodge City Area Chamber of Commerce is to enhance the
business climate and to improve the quality of life in Dodge City and the
surrounding area. |
