Why is the Chamber of Commerce important to our community

What does your chamber do?

There is no lack of networking opportunities through our established chamber of commerce organization. From community committees to

events and more, you'll find various opportunities to build relationships with other businesses and new customers every single month. Most of these events are free or heavily discounted to members, making them an affordable way to build powerful relationships. Our business members know the importance of working together for common goals in our community.

Your Chamber is a non-profit organization with a strong reputation for standing up for the

Yuma community and its economy.

Our business members receive great positive

impressions for supporting our local charities, sponsoring youth activities and causes, partners and promoting shopping local. When businesses are a chamber member, it means they invest in your community and make a difference while promoting their business at

the same time. It's a win-win advantage.

We have an important role in local government affairs. We serve as a voice for the

local business owners and industries. This includes addressing issues that may arise with

new regulations, fees, taxes, costs, or assessments applicable to the businesses we serve. Our Chamber members are part of that

voice and their role is relevant and opinion becomes part of the many contributed voices

that form the chamber's views.

Your Chamber prides itself on helping to promote local businesses and improve their growth. We offer promotion and publicity packages to help grow local businesses. This may include ribbon cuttings, sponsorships, advertising, events, and referrals. Members are offered these packages at a price that is

often much lower than what it would typically cost to execute. Another perk we

offer are staff trainings to help with

employee retention, professional growth,

and customer service!
