Mission Statement

As a united voice of its members, the Chamber seeks a consensus on key issues, communicates the business community’s perspective and ultimately influences decisions made by legislatures.

In this role, it helps members interpret the impact of recently passed legislation.
The geographic scope of the Chamber extends throughout Boulder City and the adjacent Metropolitan area. A larger geographic scope of influence and involvement (e.g. communities within Southern Nevada) may be required based on the issue (e.g. legislative, transportation, and regional economic development).

Is the Chamber part of the City?
No. The Chamber of Commerce is a separate entity from the City. The Chamber and the City do work close together to create an atmosphere where business can thrive. In matters concerning or affecting local business, the City request input from the Chamber and takes that information into consideration when making decisions. The City also makes an annual grant to the Chamber to be used for marketing Boulder City.
