The Houma-Terrebonne Chamber of Commerce is...

• An accredited voluntary association of business and professional people working to improve the economic and civic vitality of our community- one of only six such organizations in the state.
• A not-for-profit organization financed entirely by the investment of its members.
  
• Independent of all other organizations and groups.
  
• A leading action organization.
  
• The "Voice" of the Business Community.
  

What the Chamber of Commerce isn't:

• Not an Advertising Agency . . . But we do promote our Members' Businesses.
• Not a Government . . . but we do watchdog local, state and federal governments for the interest of the local business community regarding taxation, etc.
  
• Not a Library . . . but we do provide information about the area . . . Community Profile on computer, etc.
  
• Not a Newspaper . . . but we do publish a monthly Newsletter containing Chamber and local business community news.
  
• Not Environmentalists . . . but we do promote community beautification and historic preservation.
  
• Not Educators . . . but we do try to set the facts straight regarding free enterprise and the positive role of commerce in the American society.
  
• Not a Transportation Agency . . . but we do encourage good streets, highways, bus service and shelters.
  
• Not Solitary . . . but we are members of both the State Chamber and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in order to maintain an awareness of business involvement on the state and federal levels.
  
• Not Reactionary . . . but we are concerned with the ability to act rather than only react to community plans and problems.

And most of all we are:

• Not Exclusive . . . but we are open to anyone desiring to invest in the Chamber of Commerce and work for the betterment of our area.
