Our Mission Statement
The purpose of the Chamber is to be a leader for the improvement of the economy of Amarillo. The
Chamber’s aim in supplying this leadership is to improve all segments of the area economy by stimulating
not only economic expansion, but also growth and improvement in the cultural, social, educational,
environmental, and governmental services in the region. The Chamber’s emphasis will be on actions by
the Chamber’s voluntary members to accomplish specific results. Programs will be designed to
implement short term as well as long term plans and actions. The Chamber’s philosophy is to produce
results in the improvement of the area economy and the quality of life by providing a platform for
volunteer leadership to carry out specific programs and projects to build a better Amarillo.
“What
does
the
Chamber
of
Commerce
really
do?”
The Amarillo Chamber of Commerce was established in May of 1926 to be the leader for the improvement of the economy of Amarillo. Our aim in supplying this leadership is to improve all segments of the area
economy by stimulating not only economic expansion, but also growth and improvement in cultural, social,
educational, environmental, and governmental services in the region. Our emphasis will be on action by our
voluntary business members to accomplish specific results. Programs will be designed to implement short
term as well as long term plans and actions. Our philosophy is to produce results in the improvement of the
area economy and the quality of life by providing a platform for volunteer leadership to carry out specific
programs and projects to build a better Amarillo.

Some people think we gather statistics; others believe we print brochures. Many of you know we
assist with business retention and expansion. People involved in tourism know that we answer inquiries and advertise our city. All of these beliefs are right to an extent, but even saying that the
Chamber does all those things reflects only a portion of the work of the Chamber. Consequently,
we welcome the question. We want you to understand the mission of the Amarillo Chamber of
Commerce.

We tend to think that the function of the Chamber is to serve as a catalyst – a vehicle that brings all
the parts together – in order for business people to work together in a coordinated effort for the
common goals of the community.

A healthy business community must have an aggressive advocate to represent its interests. The
Chamber works with our members and others groups to keep Amarillo’s economic conditions at a
level where business people are willing to invest their resources here in hopes of making a profit.

The profitable operations of business allow all other benefits to occur. Only by succeeding in this
goal can we provide employment opportunities and produce the wealth to finance government, civic, educational, cultural, and charitable concerns that our community needs every day. Through the
profitable operations of business, other business people are influenced to contribute their hardearned money and invest in business here in Amarillo.

So you are probably asking yourself, “who does all this?” The Chamber has a very small staff and
the correct response is that we serve as a facilitator to help “you do it.” You, the Chamber members, and the business and professional individuals who care enough about Amarillo to support the
Chamber with a membership, are the ones who “do it.”

You are the Chamber of Commerce. You provide the ideas; you provide the drive and the goals.
Without you, we wouldn’t have the funds and the voluntary resources that keep the Chamber successfully serving as a catalyst to make things happen for the good of the community. Without you
and your membership, who would do all the things the Chamber does?

We wish that every citizen had the confidence that they could make a difference in our city; that
every individual believed they could speak and be heard regarding the laws we pass, the quality of
our education, and the extent of our city’s services. We like to think the Chamber members do
have that confidence. Perhaps the members have never testified before the Legislature, or attended
a school board meeting or conferred with a mayor…but through their membership and their communications with the Chamber, they do. We listen to our membership and we work as a catalyst to
meet our members’ needs.

You don’t have to be a brand new member or new business to host an
event. We cut ribbons and break ground for grand openings, major
remodels, new locations, and major milestones (10, 20, 25 year
anniversaries and up). Maybe you joined long ago and just never
scheduled one, that’s okay...you still can! The added publicity you
receive by hosting a free ribbon cutting or ground breaking ceremony
makes your initial membership investment practically pay for itself!
