The Greater Springfield Chamber of Commerce is a
voluntary organization of business and professional men and women
joined together for the purpose of promoting the civic and
commercial progress of our community.
The area's economic well-being is directly
related to the caliber of work that is accomplished by The Chamber.
Therefore, The Greater Springfield Chamber of Commerce has a major
impact on business, income, and future growth of the area.
There are two primary functions of a chamber of
commerce:
-
To act as a spokesperson for the business and
professional community, and translate into action the group
thinking of its members, and;
-
To render specific services of a type that
can not be effectively rendered by any other community
organization both to its members and to the community as a
whole.
Vision Statement
The Greater Springfield Chamber of Commerce will be recognized as
the leading advocate for business and economic development and a
leading community partner for education and diversity.
Mission Statement

a thriving regional business climate and advocating for our members

Structure
The Chamber is comprised of a

Committees of volunteers from member firms help the Chamber
implement and achieve its goals. The Chamber regularly reviews its
programs, goals and results to bring about a healthier climate in
