Our Story
We are proud to represent the citizens of Greenwood and strive to become the catalyst through which business, individuals and organizations work together for the common good of the community. The Chamber follows the town’s business development proposal while keeping in tact our small town atmosphere. An important aspect of the Chamber is to assist the town in creating a business climate that appeals to the present businesses and will bring in the kind of new businesses that fit our environment while maintaining the tax base and enhancing growth.
What is GCC?
The Chamber is an action agency designed to meet community or area needs. It is a voluntary organization of individuals and businesses who band together to advance the commercial, financial, industrial and civic interests of a community or area. Among other things it is a civic clearinghouse, a public relations counselor, a legislative representative at the local, state and national levels of government, an information bureau and a research and promotion medium.
Mission Statement
Action groups — which are called standing committees — are the backbone of the Chamber. They are the units that accomplish the organization’s goals and objectives. The needs of the community and policies of the Chamber determine the kinds and number of these action groups.
Any firm or individual sharing a common interest in community improvement is eligible for membership. Eligibility requirements are spelled out in the organization’s bylaws. Fees, subscription rates or dues are usually determined by the Board of Directors based on budgetary needs.
Financed on an annual dues basis, the organization’s expenses are apportioned among its members consisting of firms and individuals. Chamber membership is an investment in the present and future of the firm’s, individual’s and the community’s welfare.
The organization is run by a Board of Directors, elected by Chamber members. The Board, serving without pay, sets the policies of the organization.
