Mission
Statement
The mission statement of the Waynesville-St. Robert Area
Chamber of Commerce is to be the motivating force in coordinating,
leading and promoting existing and future business development,
economic diversity, and tourism. We shall enhance the quality
of life through programs, services, community development,
recognition, and pride.
Chamber
Objective
The Chamber is committed to advancing the commercial, industrial,
agricultural, educational, civic, and community interests
of the residents and businesses in the cities of Waynesville
and St. Robert and in the surrounding area.
What
it is
Your Chamber of Commerce is a voluntary organization of
citizens who are investing their time and money in a community
development program working together to improve the economic,
civic and cultural well being of the area.
Any citizen who is interested in helping to develop the
area (which means more money, more business, more jobs,
and better living for everyone) is eligible to be a member
of the Chamber of Commerce.
The work of the Chamber is financed by the investment of
the members who support it on the basis of their ability
to pay and their interest in the progress of the area.
The Chamber is composed of the Chamber Membership, and Executive
Board, the Board of Directors, Committee Workers, an Executive
Director and an Executive Secretary.
What
It Does
The Chamber of Commerce is a service institution and an
action organization. It provides a medium through which
people can take effective action for the progress of the
community. Additionally, the Chamber of Commerce is serving
as a department and a partner of every business and every
professional person in the area.
How
It Functions
The Chamber of Commerce functions through the working committees
of the organization. Money, planning, inspiration and guidance
are useless unless the members work vigorously on the committee
of their choice.
Careful study is made of the community needs and an action
blueprint- the Program of Work is designed. The goal of
the Program is always to create more dollars for more people
and to improve the economic welfare of the community.
Every member has a voice in determining the policies and
projects of the Chamber; every member is needed to work
on active committees to get the job done.
