We accept zero government funding, grants, subsidies, or taxpayer dollars.
That means no government influence, no competing interests, and one clear mission:
Protect business. Promote business. Defend business.
We do not allow elected officials on our governing board. This keeps our advocacy focused entirely on the business community, free from political agendas or influence.
Why it matters:
Because when chambers stay independent, they speak boldly, act freely, and serve businesses—not bureaucracy.
Research from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce shows that chambers receiving government funding or allowing government officials on their boards are up to 400% less likely to engage in political endorsements or public policy advocacy.
This gap reveals how public funding can limit a chamber’s voice—creating conflicts of interest, political entanglements, and reduced flexibility to champion business-first priorities.
That’s why our Government-Free Guarantee matters: it ensures we remain fully accountable to the private sector, not government agencies or elected officials. We advocate boldly, without compromise.
