Active membership in your chamber carries with it a sense of accomplishment and pride of satisfaction from the knowledge that you are doing your share of an important job for the community.  Although everyone in the community benefits from the work of the Chamber, you can accept these benefits with pride ONLY if you have had a part in bringing them about.  A great way to build your business is by helping to build your community.  Your personal sacrifice ensures your personal rewards in the community.
