Not All Chambers Are The Same
And Some Chambers Never Change
Chambers of commerce started as associations of business owners who promoted and protected the interests of the business community. In the 1950's many chambers morphed into civic organizations that also focused on Parades, Parties, and Pageants (AKA, 3-P chambers). During the 1960's many chambers became well known for social events, also known as mixers (networking events with adult beverages). Beginning in the 21st Century, many chambers started shifting back to their original purpose of representing the interests of the business community. Today's modern chamber is focused on advocacy and is typically referred to as a 3-C chamber in the industry. The 3-C designation in the chamber profession, is used because these chambers exist to be a Catalyst for business growth, A Convener for leaders and influencers, And a Champion for healthier communities. Today chambers fall on a broad spectrum of business models, from those that focus events and mixers, to some of the most influential business lobbying organizations in the community and the U.S.
The Surprise Regional Chamber of Commerce is a 3-C chamber. The mission of the Surprise Regional Chamber of Commerce is to champion economic prosperity, foster a pro-business climate, and to improve the quality of life in our region.
