Local business belong to the Chamber for a variety of reasons. Most commonly it's to grow their business through networking. For others it's about being part of the local business community. Some belong to support the overall mission of the Chamber as a business advocate.
But your Chamber membership offers so much more than that. The Chamber belongs to several employer organizations that collectively advocate and promote policies and initiatives to improve the business climate throughout the Commonwealth. See how your membership investment is amplified by our involvement with the following organizations. The Massachusetts Business Alliance for Education works to promote and support continuous improvement in our schools and innovation that is needed to ensure that every student receives a high-quality education that prepares them for success in college, career, and citizenship.

The Massachusetts Coalition for Sustainable Energy supports a responsible transition to a renewable energy future that ensures reliability and affordability, strengthens our economy, and enhances Massachusetts’ position as a leader on climate change. Even as we’ve led the nation with ambitious policy, our energy supply remains limited and increasingly expensive.

Working with the Massachusetts Opportunity Alliance we believe a strong business climate means a better quality of life for all. Our mission is to defend and strengthen the Massachusetts business climate, ensure long-term economic success and prosperity, promote social mobility, and enhance economic opportunities for all in the Commonwealth. The Employer Coalition on Health is a group of concerned employers who are working to address the unsustainable growth in healthcare costs and make healthcare more affordable in Massachusetts through collaboration. ECOH will amplify the voice of employers in health policy discussions by making the cost of care a key consideration. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is the world’s largest business organization.
