• Partnership for a Sustainable Community


  • The Chamber's Partnership for a Sustainable Community strengthens and supports the Chamber's economic and community development work. 

    Mission: Apply business leadership to solve community problems and create opportunities.

    Strategy: The Partnership, with strong community and business support, delivers against four focus areas:  

    • Convene leaders
    • Educate and inform the community
    • Build organization capacity
    • Research and report on important community information

     

  •  


  • Inter-City Visit and Leadership Conference 

    A powerful community convener, the Part­nership brings together 100 diverse com­munity leaders – local business owners and managers, elected officials, University faculty and staff, non-profit executives and volun­teers, municipal and county staff, and media – for the biannual Inter-City Visit and Leadership Conference.
