From The Chair Congratulations! Exploring the
Carroll County Chamber of Commerce (CCCC) website is a productive use of your
time. If you are exploring our site because you're interested in joining, take
your time and explore all the wonderful services, networking opportunities, partnerships,
continuing education, and discounts (just to name a few benefits) that are available
to our members. Or, you could be like me, already a member,
and you need to find a phone number or a business address. Using the website is
a lot quicker than finding your copy of the Chamber Directory that you put some
place "safe." Of course, the depth and breadth
of the Chamber can't be fully comprehended from a website, but it's a good start!
The CCCC is the oldest and largest business advocacy organization in Carroll County.
Forty-five percent of the Chamber's members are for-profit businesses with 1 to
10 employees; twenty-five percent are businesses with 11 to 50 employees. Fifteen
percent are businesses with 51 or more employees. Our not-for-profit organizations
also represent fifteen percent of our membership. In a nutshell, we have a majority
of small business membership (of which I am one) and a very healthy mix of larger
businesses and not-for-profit organizations. No wonder the Chamber is a win/win
investment. Naturally, any organization also needs "heart
and soul" to thrive. The "heart" of the CCCC includes a dedicated
Board of Directors and committee chairpersons and members. These volunteers work
tirelessly to promote the Chamber and, in doing so, advance the image and reputation
of their businesses to the rest of the business community. It's no secret: you
get out of the Chamber what you put into it. The "soul,"
without a doubt, is our professional staff. They are the motor that keeps our
programs running smoothly and fiscally sound. I am always impressed with their
genuine willingness to help, answer questions and go the extra mile. If you are
a Chamber member, you know what I mean. If you're not a member, what are you waiting
for? Carol B. Cahall, President
