What the Chamber is all about?
What is your Chamber?
The Chamber is a voluntary partnership of business and professional people working as a team to build a healthy economy. The Chamber also tries to get the businesses actively involved in the community. After all it is the community that frequent your businesses.
As the Eastpointe - Roseville Chamber works to accomplish these goals, it has many hats: business educator, business spokesperson, economic development, public relations, event planner, fundraiser, etc.
Who are the Members?
The Eastpointe - Roseville Chamber consists of over 200 businesses, organizations and individuals that are concerned with the socio-economic climate of our community. These businesses have joined together because they know they stand a better chance of getting things done when they speak as one voice.
Who leads your Chamber?
The Chamber is run by its members, whom elect a Board of Directors that determine policies, develop programs and set goals. The Executive Director, Catherine Green, handles the Chamber's day-to-day operations. In our Chamber, it is a part time position.
Members are welcomed to become involved in committees like the Ambassadors, Special Events, Economic Development, Operations and Finance, Public Relations, Membership Development, and the Auction Committee.
