Mission Statement
Working for Our Members
he Greater Belleville Chamber of Commerce is a
membership organization that supports and advances
business and community interests, as well as the
quality of life in Belleville and surrounding
communities.
The mission of the Chamber is to identify and serve
the needs of businesses. That means working to
increase prosperity by encouraging growth of
existing businesses and fostering the establishment
of new ones. In addition, it translates to providing
representation in government affairs, and working
with educational, cultural, civic and service
organizations. In other words, the business of the
Chamber of Commerce is for its members to do
collectively what they might not be able to do
individually in working for the best interests of
the community.
