Programs described in its return (3)
- THE TEMPE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE IS THE LEADING REPRESENTATIVE OF BUSINESS ISSUES IN THE COMMUNITY. COMMITTEES WORK TO DEVELOP LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL POLICY AGENDAS AND SERVE TO LET ELECTED OFFICIALS KNOW THE ORGANIZATION STANCE ON ISSUES. EVENTS SUCH AS THE STATE OF THE COMMUNITY ALLOW MEMBERS TO HEAR DIRECTLY FROM THEIR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES.
- THE TEMPE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE PROVIDES EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES TO DIRECTLY HELP MEMBERS. THE WOMEN IN BUSINESS CONFERENCE AND TRADE SHOW, HOT TOPICS, AND SERIES ON USING SOCIAL MEDIA PROGRAMS ARE DESIGNED TO GIVE MEMBERS TOOLS THAT THEY CAN IMMEDIATELY PUT TO USE IN THEIR BUSINESS.
- THE ABILITY TO CONNECT WITH OTHER BUSINESSES TO SHARE IDEAS AND BUSINESS LEADS IS A CRITICAL PART OF THE CHAMBER PROGRAMS. THE WEB SITE AND SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM ALLOW MEMBERS TO INTERACT 24/7, WHILE THE MORE TRADITIONAL MORNING AND EVENING MIXERS AND BUSINESS OWNERS FORUM FURTHER ENCOURAGES RALATIONSHIP BUILDING.
