Why Join?

What is a Chamber of Commerce?

A Chamber of Commerce is a group of business people who for mutual benefit, join together to meet their goals through a program of action. This, of course means that each such organization is unique in its specific purpose, which may or may not match the purpose of other Chambers of Commerce or Boards of Trade in another jurisdiction. A Chamber of Commerce or Board of Trade, therefore, may be dedicated to any one or any number of specific purposes such as: economic development, tourism promotion, lobbying government or event management. A recent survey by the Ontario Chamber of Commerce of close to 1400 businesses ranks the following measures as likely the most effective in helping them get through the turbulent times:

•Lower taxes including corporate, personal and payroll

•Streamlined regulatory environment with an emphasis on smart regulation

•Improved access to financing

•More affordable energy pricing and abundant supply

An organization' (or organisation — see spelling differences) is a social arrangement which pursues collective goals, controls its own performance, and has a boundary separating it from its environment. The word itself is derived from the Greek word organon, itself derived from the better-known word ergon.Bold text' There are a variety of legal types of organizations, including: corporations, governments, non-governmental organizations, international organizations, armed forces, charitys, not-for-profit corporations, partnerships, cooperatives, and universities. A hybrid organization is a body that operates in both the public sector and the private sector, simultaneously fulfilling public duties and developing commercial market activities. As a result the hybrid organization becomes a mixture of both a part of government and a private corporation.

In the social sciences, organizations are the object of analysis for a number of disciplines, such as sociology, economics, political science, psychology, management, and organizational communication. The broader analysis of organizations is commonly referred to as [[organizational studies]], organizational behavior or organization analysis. A number of different perspectives exist, some of which are compatible:

From a process-related perspective, an organization is viewed as an entity is being (re-)organized, and the focus is on the organization as a set of tasks or actions.

From a functional perspective, the focus is on how entities like businesses or state authorities are used.

From an institutional perspective, an organization is viewed as a purposeful structure within a social context.
