What is Your Chamber of Commerce?

 

The Chamber of Commerce ... it's the doctor's office near the hospital ... the attorney handling a real estate transaction or estate ... the grocery store or the local strip mall .. the jeweler or clothier downtown ... and the manufacturer or distributor in the industrial park. It's the dentist, the stock broker, teacher, the in-home business, the automotive supply and the auto mechanic. It's a neighbor, a friend, a member of your club or someone sitting next to you in church. Friends all, neighbors, citizens working together through one civic organization, Moberly Area Chamber of Commerce, with a common goal of making Moberly/Randolph county a better place to live, work and raise a family. The Moberly Area Chamber of Commerce is merely the vehicle for accomplishment -- for achievement of a better community ... by way of organized group behavior, with group knowledge and experience, mobilized for civic "KNOW HOW."

Good Communities Don't Just Happen!

"Nothing just happens, it's a someone that makes things happen."

The Mobely Area Chamber of Commerce is made up of people and businesses who want to make something happen. The Chamber reflects the local interests of groups and individuals for the common good and then work together to insure efforts to make the city and county a good place to live and do business.

  1. Goals

    1. Moberly Area Chamber of Commerce
      Long Range Planning

      The Chamber will encourage governmental entities to engage in the planning process and will offer to facilitate in anh appropriate way the implementation and follow-through of a county or regional strategic plan.

      Urban/Rural Redevelopment

      The Chamber will, as a part of any strategic planning process, address the need to improve blighted areas and situations that negatively impact the "curb appeal" of the city and county. Tha plan should cover both redevelopment as well as new development of designated areas. The Chamber will address funding through taxes, public/private partnerships or other means to carryout needed development or rehabilitation.

      Crime Prevention

      The Chamber will work in concert with various agencies to seek pro-active methods to provide "at-risk" youth with alternative programs tht are shown to reduce the cycle of crime. Further, the Chamber will work with all local law enforcement to seek improved and efficient crime deterrents and prevention with present funding and additional funding if necessary.

      Technology

      The Chamber will work with educational entities and private enterprises to communicate and teach the benefits of new technoogies. Efforts will target our members first, and later, the entire community as we seek financially sound opportunities to connect to the information superhighway.

      Regional Promotion

      The Chamber, through it's own efforts as well as in concert with others will work to promote the quality of life available in the Moberly/Randolph County area. All types of marketing opportunities and media will be used as funding allows to keep the region on the cutting edge of economic development, community devlopment and tourism.

      Community Relations

      The Chamber will continue to reach out to all citizens throughout Randolph County through meetings and other methods of communication with the intent of building even better relationships among cities, towns and unincorporated areas.

      Best Practices

      The Chamber will review it's activities to determine "best practices" and to survey other Chambers to learn about their successful programs and services.
