The Salem Chamber of Commerce...
Is your local spokesperson, community advocate and goodwill ambassador. The Salem Chamber is the business communities’ voice on local questions of taxation and legislation, and monitors local and state governmental issues. The Salem Chamber supports local measures that are good for the business development of this area and opposes those that are detrimental.
Is your sales manager. The Salem Chamber sells your city, your products, and your services to people. Every day your Chamber promotes your community. This includes maps, brochures, demographic information and directories that are readily available and updated on a regular basis. The Chamber refers its members to people asking for special products or services, and it encourages "members using member products and services".
