The Value of Chambers

Steven Covey, Knight Kiplinger, Bart Conner and Nadia Comaneci. What do these respected leaders have in common? They all understand the intrinsic value of being a member of a local chamber of commerce. They’re chamber members themselves, they know the power of chambers, and they use chambers in their businesses.
