Why Join?
Since 1921 the McPherson Chamber of Commerce has been a vehicle for accomplishment, for achievement of a better community and civic “KNOW HOW”. The reasons for joining theMcPherson Chamber of Commerce are too numerous to list here. Certainly, the 11 standingcommittees serve to meet a majority of our member’s and community needs and priorities.Traditionally the Chamber has served as a membership focused organization, but in reality, hasbeen utilized as a community focused organization, meaning the Chamber’s role reaches muchfurther than the membership itself. The Chamber is an advocate for the constituents itserves with the goals of creating a climate of growth and success for everyone inMcPherson.
Some members are interested in networking opportunities for new business leads, others areinterested in the work the Chamber does in cooperative promotions, special events, forums, andother related partnership opportunities. Of course there are also those members that enjoyrolling up their sleeves and giving back to the community that has provided businessprosperity for them. We have some of the best, brightest, hardworking and dedicatedvolunteers to address and tackle some of the key issues facing our community.
You may ask yourself what is the “return on investment?” This can be complicated becausethe “return” factor varies in definition from business to business and individual to individual.Most will say that the true key to getting a return on a Chamber membership is gettinginvolved. It’s like Woody Allen once said, “90% of life is just showing up.”
The McPherson Chamber of Commerce is made up of people and businesses who wantto make something happen. The Chamber reflects the interests of groups and individualsfor the common good and then works together to insure efforts to make the city andsurrounding area a good place to live and do business.
