Room to Clarify

It’s still a common misunderstanding that all local chambers are connected to the national group in some way.

Robin Comstock, president and CEO of the Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce, had to clarify that to the audience at a 1st Congressional District debate on Tuesday at Saint Anselm College.

“We are not accredited by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce; we are not a member,” she said. “The only similarity is that we share a name."

Congratulations to One Southern Indiana Chamber and Economic Development for recently earning the coveted US Chamber of Commerce Accreditation. This places 1SI in the top 4% of chambers nation wide and demonstrates the ability for “suburb chambers” to achieve excellence in the areas of membership, economic development, and general business practices. Michael Dalby, staff, and members of the board should be proud of this accomplishment.
