CONSTITUENT CHAMBERS
Whereas SACCI’s focus is mainly on national and international issues at the macro level, constituent chambers serve their members at local and regional levels in an equally important way.
A chamber is established in a town or city for the following reasons :
- to assess and evaluate the needs of the local business community
- to monitor development at the local level
- to mobilise business opinion on local issues
- to exert a positive influence on the environment in which business operates
- to promote and encourage the pursuit of a high standard of business ethics
- to disseminate information that is useful to the business fraternity
- to create opportunities for improving business skills
- to extend business contacts locally and nationally, and to allow individual business-people to share in the national business decision-making process
- to uphold the market economy and private enterprise system
- to be “The Voice of Business” – a binding force combining the skills and influences of men and women engaged in business in one form or another.
