Support Local Shopping:

Like most smaller communities, Carroll County struggles with getting their citizens to shop local. Our shop local campaign challenges our citizens to give local service providers the first opportunity for their business.  We also encourage those businesses to provide service selection and value that will ensure the customer is satisfied.  Shopping locally allows a community to host the best possible service level and improves the overall quality of life for businesses and citizens.  “Keep your town in business by keeping your business in town.”

Celebrate Our Businesses:

Businesses contribute in significant ways to the success of our community.  It is important that those successes be recognized.  The Chamber is active in PROMOTING and CELEBRATING all the wonderful things that businesses do in the community.

Empower Business Excellence:

To maintain success, businesses need to continue to change, improve and focus on the customers.  The Chamber has made it a priority to coordinate TRAINING and NETWORKING opportunities that support businesses in their pursuit fo excellence.

Strengthen Community Parnerships:

Many of the issues that our business community encounters are also being felt by other entities in our community.  The Chamber is focused on finding solutions through COOPERATION and COLLABORACTION with other chambers, communities, community organizations or any other groups with related focus, including our Schools, Government, Workforce, and Non-profits.

Develop Visionary Leadership:

So how do you want your company to contribute?  To one degree or another, many of us feel the world today lacks quality leadership.  But, what better way to fight against that trend than by inspiring greatness in our future leaders?  It all begins with LEADING BY EXAMPLE.  That’s a tall order, though and not very specific-so we’ll explore ways the Chamber can assume thougthful leadership roles and inspire others
