What is a Chamber?

A chamber of commerce is a coalition of area businesses, industries, organizations, and professionals, who pool their talents and resources to improve the economic, civic, and cultural climate of their community.
The Chamber is an advocate and service organization for business. It provides a venue through which business professionals can take effective action for the progress and growth of their communities.
What does this look like? Well, the Highland Chamber of Commerce focuses on five key aspects of community prosperity:
