Washington Chamber of Commerce

Washington Chamber of Commerce Washington, Iowa Chamber of Commerce: Community & Business Development Over 75% of the Chamber membership comprises small businesses.

The Washington Area Chamber of Commerce is a private, non-profit voluntary organization of and for the Washington business community. It unites hundreds of business and professional firms, creating a unified voice working to improve business and build a better community. It is those myriad of small businesses that make up the backbone of our community, prospering and creating a healthy, positive e

nvironment for conducting business. Above all, the Washington Area Chamber of Commerce is people -- people who understand that through the Chamber they can accomplish collectively what none of them can do individually. The strength of the Chamber lies in attracting the greatest possible number of members from the community, creating a pool of resources from which ideas, energy and finances can be drawn. The Chamber's members elect a Board of Directors, which in turn develops a business plan for each year -- a list of goals and objectives for the betterment of the community. The business plan is accomplished through a strong committee system, the committees and task forces made up of Chamber members. In the Washington Chamber, except for two professional staff, all positions are volunteer.
