A HOUSE RESOLUTION URGING THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY IN NORTH CAROLINA TO RECOGNIZE THE IMPORTANT ROLE COMMUNITY CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE PLAY IN NORTH CAROLINA.
Whereas, there are more than 120 Chambers of Commerce in North Carolina, serving communities as large as Charlotte and as small as Beech Mountain; and
Whereas, North Carolina's community Chambers of Commerce act as catalysts for positive change; and
Whereas, each Chamber of Commerce directs its collective resources to essential programs such as education, business training, leadership, military relations, tourism, and a variety of other community and economic development pursuits; and
Whereas, Chambers of Commerce advance the general welfare and prosperity of North Carolina's business community and all of its citizens; and
Whereas, Chambers of Commerce rely exclusively on the talents, energies, and resources of volunteers to conduct their respective program; and
Whereas, North Carolina's economy and quality of life depend on the individual contributions of its community Chambers of Commerce; and
Whereas, Chambers of Commerce are an irreplaceable component of North Carolina's economy and continued well-being and would cease to exist without the broad-based support of their respective business communities;
Now, therefore, be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
Section 1.  The North Carolina House of Representatives urges all businesses to recognize the many contributions and vast importance of community Chambers of Commerce, and urges all businesses to invest in the Chambers of Commerce in communities in which they conduct business.
Sec. 2.  The Principal Clerk shall transmit a copy of this resolution to the 120 Chambers of Commerce in North Carolina.
Sec. 3.  This resolution is effective upon adoption.
