Your Chamber of Commerce

What It Is

The Meridian Chamber of Commerce is a voluntary organization of citizens who are investing their time and money in a community development program – working together to improve the economic, civic and cultural well-being of the area.

Any citizen who is interested in helping to develop Meridian, which means more money, more business, more jobs, and better living for everyone, is eligible to be a member of the Meridian Chamber of Commerce. The dues structure is designed to permit even the smallest business and every citizen to be a member.

The work of the chamber is financed by the investment of the members who support on the basis of their ability to pay and their willingness to be involved in the progress of the area.

The Meridian Chamber of Commerce functions through its Committee workers, Officers and Directors who serve without pay. The Office Manager devotes their time to the Chamber of Commerce as the only paid employee.

What It Does

The Meridian Chamber of Commerce is a service institution and an organization. It provides a medium through which people can exchange ideas and take effective action for the progress of Meridian; working together to make Meridian a great place to Live, Work and Play in the Top of the Hill Country.

How It Functions

The Meridian Chamber of Commerce functions through the working committees of the organization. Money, planning, inspiration, and guidance are useless unless the members work vigorously on the committee of their choice.

A study is made of the community needs and an action blueprint - the program of work - is designed.  The goal of the Program is always to create more dollars for more people and to improve the economic welfare of the community.

Every member has a voice in determining the policies and projects and every member is needed to work on active committees to get the job done.
