Chamber Mission, Vision and Leadership

Mission
Our mission is to create a business environment in the region where our members can thrive.

Vision
The Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce is a regional leader that is data driven, flexible and strong, providing services and support that make our organization essential to our members.

Principles
We strive to reduce taxes and regulatory barriers that hamper the viability of our member businesses by driving change through communication and coordination with the local, state and federal government, and regulatory agencies.

We seek to gain regional competitive advantage by having a superior workforce available for our members.
We play a pro-active role in delivering, innovative, high quality, cost competitive health insurance products for our members.

We achieve our mission through the development of services and sharing of information that benefits our members and the geographic area in which they operate.
​
We work with government and various organizations to define and address the economic and tourism development needs of our small business members with emphasis on helping these businesses increase sales and reduce costs; and through the implementation of the Main Street four point approach of organization, promotion, design and economic restructuring. ​
