There are two primary functions of a chamber of commerce:
To act as a spokesperson for the business and professional community, and translate into action the group thinking of its members, and;
To render specific services of a type that can not be effectively rendered by any other community organization both to its members and to the community as a whole.

To be recognized as the proactive voice of business in efforts to maximize potential for the success and profitability of its members and as the leader in creating and strengthening collaborative relationships to foster community economic development and to enhance the quality of life in central Illinois.
