WHY WE EXIST: Safeguarding Free Enterprise & Building Stronger Communities
American free enterprise has contributed to our citizens having one of the highest standards of living in the world, unsurpassed economic prosperity, and its people being the most generous in the world! Free enterprise fosters competition, which means that more companies open up, more innovation, more jobs, our quality of life increases, and our communities get stronger. Private property, economic freedom, economic incentives, competitive markets, and the limited role of government are the characteristics of a free enterprise system. Our Chamber's existence reflects our fervently-held belief that the health of the business community and the health of larger community in which it lives are inseparable. And our work – of safeguarding free enterprise and providing the tools that business need to succeed – is central to the success of the community as a whole.
The mission of the Chamber is to champion economic prosperity, foster a pro-business climate, and to improve the quality of life in our region.
To be universally recognized for our unique and invaluable role in helping businesses prosper and helping our communities thrive.
While a corporation’s success is measured by its bottom line and stock value, a nonprofit organization’s success is measured by its ability to achieve its mission. The Chamber's mission statement establishes its purpose with both passion and conviction. Our mission is aspirational and tells us why we exist. It is the foundation upon which all plans and decisions are made.
And Some Chambers Never Change
Chambers of commerce started as associations of business owners who promoted and protected the interests of the business community. In the 1950's many chambers morphed into civic organizations that also focused on Parades, Parties, and Pageants (AKA, 3-P chambers). During the 1960's many chambers became well known for social events, also known as mixers (networking events with adult beverages). Beginning in the 21st Century, many chambers started shifting back to their original purpose of representing the interests of the business community. Today's modern chamber is focused on advocacy and is typically referred to as a 3-C chamber in the industry. The 3-C designation in the chamber profession, is used because these chambers exist to be a Catalyst for business growth, A Convener for leaders and influencers, And a Champion for healthier communities. Today chambers fall on a broad spectrum of business models, from those that focus events and mixers, to some of the most influential business lobbying organizations in the community and the U.S.
The North West Valley Chamber of Commerce is a 3-C chamber.
