Overview

Mission

To support the success of our members and the business growth of our community.

What it reported doing in 2024

The chamber organizes annual and monthly meetings and events designed to highlight and promote local businesses, and to facilitate networking and synergistic cooperation among business and community organization members.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
