About The Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce


The Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce is a voluntary organization of business and professional men and women who have joined together for the purpose of promoting the civic and commercial progress of the community. There are two primary functions of the Chamber:

1. it acts as spokesman for the business and professional community and translates into action the group thinking of its members and
2. it renders specific services of a type that can be most effectively delivered by an organization to its members and the community as a whole.

A Board of Directors who are elected by the members leads the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce. The Board of Directors elects a Chairman of the Board who presides over all meetings of the board, along with the Treasurer, Vice Chair, Clerk and other officers and comprises the Chamber’s Executive Committee. A Chief Executive Officer leads the Chamber staff in managing the day-to-day operations of the organization.
