The purpose of the
Rainsville Chamber of Commerce, Inc -- as stated
on the organization's bylaws -- is "advancing the commercial,
industrial, civic, and general interests of the City of Rainsville, and
its trade area."
It exists to support the
forces that lead to prosperity within the business sector, which, in
turn, boosts the
entire community's quality
of life.
How the Chamber carries out the mission
The Chamber can be described as a partnership of like-minded investors
(the members who invest their money, and the volunteers who invest
their time) serving as an advocate for its member businesses and the
community. The Chamber strives to convince local citizens and visitors
to do business with its members at every opportunity.
The Chamber often serves as a catalyst for community action in which
various members of the community
work together for the good
of the entire community.
The Chamber serves as an information clearinghouse for the community through
its office, websites and publications.
By providing support for events
and activities, and
information about the
city and its amenities the
Chamber helps attract tourists, new residents, and new business
ventures.
