President & CEO
CHAMBER 101 Why Did I join the Chamber of Commerce? Most importantly, remember that you get out what you put in. Your efforts within the Chamber will directly affect the benefits you reap. And, the benefits of Chamber membership are numerous. Some of them will be more important to you than others, but the main benefits are universal. Chamber membership conveys credibility and stability to your customers. Being a member of the Southwest Indiana Chamber will open the door to many contacts that can help your business grow through the power of referrals and networking. What does the Chamber do? Our Program of Work focuses on our Mission to serve, connect and promote our members. We serve our members through several programs designed to appreciate, educate and advocate for a healthy business climate. Connecting members through our own communication channels, networking events and the Ambassadors is an integral part of our active and engaged membership. Promoting members through the Keep It Local! campaign, referrals and event sponsorships gives members like you advanced publicity. Who runs the Chamber? The Chamber is operated by a paid staff with the Executive Director reporting to the Board of Directors. Directors are individuals of member businesses elected as representatives of the membership. A legion of engaged members and volunteers ensure the success of the Chamber’s programs. What do Board members do? Board members set policies and procedures, providing governance, direction and vision for the Chamber. They volunteer their time aside from their regular jobs to promote the Chamber’s mission. They attend Chamber and committee meetings and help with Chamber and other community events. What does the Staff do? The staff handles the day-to-day operations of the Chamber office. This includes most of the tasks necessary to execute our member benefits. Is the Chamber part of the City, County or a State government office?
No. The Chamber is a separate entity from government. We are a progressive, membership-driven organization. We work closely with public entities to create an atmosphere where business can thrive. What is the Chamber’s budget? The budget of the Chamber varies from year to year based on a number of factors. As a non-profit organization, our operating funds come from membership dues, partnerships, sponsorships and fund raisers. The resources invested by members enable the Chamber to develop new customers and clients, new vendors and service providers, business skills, a skilled workforce, a more favorable business climate, peer and professional networks and community presence.

”The assistance we have been given by the ISBDC is incredible! Pete Sabella walked us through all of the appropriate steps needed to thoroughly evaluate and understand the businesses’ financial status. One of the most difficult tasks to take on when starting your own business is understanding the company’s accounting system. With ISBDC, they make it easy. I can’t say enough about the team at ISBDC. I highly recommend business owners consult with them. It’s worth every minute of your time.” Dana Hallam
