Historically most chambers that implemented economic development programs for their communities did so by utilizing their basic membership-based model, simply diverting current or increased dues to the designated economic development initiatives.
Over the past decade, a powerful private sector funding trend has emerged. Forward-thinking and successful chambers across the country have increasingly moved from an annual membership model to a multi-year investor-based approach when it comes to funding their economic development programs. In doing so, these leading organizations have dramatically increased funding levels, developed more engaged volunteer leadership, begun generating greater long-term benefits for their communities and, in general, become more focused, measurable and accountable.
