We have been considering leaving our local chamber of commerce. Pretty much the only time I hear from them is to pay my $500 dues, sign up for a $450 per foursome golf outing fund raiser, Join them for their $65 per guest annual dinner, or come to a “networking” event. Mine is basically a circle jerk of realtors, bankers, and insurance salespeople and I have no interest in networking with any of them.

In return I receive… I don’t know what, they seem to only collect money, update thier website, and hold board meetings.

What do they actually do? Does my chamber suck or am I just being cynical?
