Quarterly ReportQ1 2017

Making it happen. Delivering results.

Defining tomorrow, today.

The Charleston Metro Chamber jump-started 2017 by delivering more for all who work and live in metro Charleston. Talent outcomes are increasing the strength of today’s and tomorrow’s workforce. The Business Advocacy team is on the ground, literally, at the local, state and federal levels, advocating for employers and their employees. Leadership opportunities are expanding for professionals at all career stages and Membership benefits, value and engagement are at an all-time high.

“ Accreditation validates a chamber as having programs that benefit its local economy and positively influence its community.”

Raymond P. TowleU.S. Chamber Vice President of Federation Relations and Institute

for Organization Management

*7,000 Chambers nationwide

of chambers receive 5-Star AccreditationLess Than 1.0%

achieve 5-Star Accreditation three timesLess Than 0.2%

of chambers in the nation are accreditedOnly top 3.0%

Accreditation shows the Charleston Metro Chamber’s dedication to:• Reviewing, improving and promoting strong business practices• Recognizing leadership and outstanding contributions to the community• Supporting the principles of free enterprise and promoting pro-growth

policies at federal, state and local levels• Establishing best practices and staying in-step with industry changes

For the third consecutive time, the Charleston Metro Chamber has achieved 5-Star Accreditation from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. To achieve accreditation, which lasts for five years, a chamber must demonstrate quality programs, clear organizational procedures and effective communications by meeting minimum operation and program standards in the areas of governance, program development, government affairs and technology.

“The Five-Star Accreditation is a testament to the hard work and passion of the staff and volunteer leaders. This chamber is by far one of the best in the nation. No other organization in the region is more committed to growing our community in a positive way,” said Patrick Bryant, Chairman of the Charleston Metro Chamber Board.

In February I received my acceptance email and housing instructions from Harvard University for this summer’s Secondary School Program. A large credit goes to the Apprenticeship Program.
