Mission Statement
The Board of Directors and members of the McGehee Chamber of Commerce hereby resolve this Chamber’s mission will be to advance, support and promote commerce, industry, agriculture, public service and contribute in every way possible to the improvement of the quality of life for all of its citizens. The Chamber will aspire to fulfill this mission with cohesive and harmonious efforts.
What is the Chamber?
The Chamber of Commerce is a non-profit volunteer organization that represents business and professional organizations, groups and individuals that are interested in economic and community development.
The Chamber of Commerce is not a governmental agency.
The Chamber’s relationship with government is strictly as an advocate of business interest involving legislative and regulatory issues that could negatively affect the business community in absence of a unified business voice.
Who Should Invest in the Chamber?
Any business, large or small, can invest in a membership. The Chamber exists for ALL businesses.
Why Invest in the Chamber?
It goes without saying that investing in the Chamber shows that you care not only about your business and personal success but the overall success of your community.
Whatever the size of your business, all citizens of McGehee have the same interest in mind – assuring that McGehee and its citizens prosper in a safe, enjoyable, and attractive environment.
