New Mission!

Using feedback from the business sessions of the Envision 2020 project and our own mini-envisioning sessions the chamber Board of Directors crafted this mission statement.

"The mission of the Nederland Area Chamber of Commerce is to facilitate economic vitality in the Nederland area by:
  o Promoting a self-sufficient economy characterized by diverse and essential products, services and jobs that support the local community and are mindful of potential impacts on the environment.
  o Collaborating with businesses, community members, nonprofits and local government to support community-based needs and problem-solving.
  o Advancing educational training, technological proficiency and personal growth opportunities for adults and youth."ннн

The board feels that this statement covers the scope of what it would like to move forward with, a more open, business focused and inclusive organization.

New Opportunities for Nederaland Area Businesses

During the envisionioning processes the board decided that a "one-size-fits-all" approach would not continue to work for the businesses in our area so we've created a new pricing structure for the services and benefits the Chamber offers. This structure will allow businesses to choose the services that are important to them.

From a basic listing in the Online Business Directory and Map that starts at $25/year to Retail/Restaurant and Home-based Business packages to help get your business in front of the people looking for you.
