Small Business Council
Nine out of 10 Chamber members run small to mid-size enterprises. So, serving small business members isn't a "program" here, it's what we do every day. Before we take a position on a controversial policy issue or introduce a new benefit program, we consult with the business leaders of the Small Business Council.
The Small Business Council makes sure that small businesses have a big voice at the Chamber.
