​​What is a Chamber? 
Chambers of Commerce are membership organizations that represent both a business network and an advocacy group, privately funded through membership investment, not tax dollars. A Chamber's primary goal is to improve the business climate in a locality, typically through business networks and lobbying. A member-driven organization, your Toledo Regional Chamber of Commerce regularly assesses the needs of local business owners and executives. Programs, products and events are then developed to deliver strategic solutions to those needs. Eighty-five percent of our members are small businesses with 50 or fewer employees. 

How is it funded? 
The Chamber is a private organization funded primarily by dues paid by member businesses. It is not a government agency and receives no tax dollars.

​Who can be a Chamber Member? 
Membership is open to all businesses through a voluntary annual dues investment. Benefits of membership include networking opportunities, community involvement, image enhancement, political advocacy, information access, numerous discounts and benefits and heightened credibility.​
