What Hermann Area Chamber of Commerce does
Mission
The organization is a chamber of commerce, serving hermann, missouri and the surrounding trade area. The principal goals are to foster and stimulate commerce, trade, business, finance, and professional interest in the service area and to promote the commercial, industrial, and economic well-being of the community. The chamber serves as a clearinghouse for information about the community, by both responding to inquiries and conducting advertising promotions relative to local business activities, tourist-oriented events, industrial site availabilities, and community betterment projects.

Annual christmas time in hermann, to encourage local businesses to display seasonal decorations, in part by means of contests for best mini christmas tree decorating contest that provides trees for senior living establishments and patients at local hospital during the christmas holiday. The hermann cookie walk provides a final family friendly event right before christmas. All of these activities are conducted with volunteer labor and frequently with donated supplies.
The chamber, in cooperation with the city government and the hermann regional economic development corporation, recently embarked on a new 5 year strategic plan to identify those amentities and infrastructure needed in the greater hermann area. Monthly meetings of the chamber membership provide a forum for business people and residents to interact, express their concerns, and develop their common interests. The general nature of the chamber's activities is probably typical of local chambers of commerce across the country. Much of the responsibility for carrying out the organization's purposes is delegated to its standing committees, which include the following: retail, industrial and strategic plan committees which work with hermann regional economic development corp and city of hermann to promote growth of industrial and manufacturing business and increase employment opportunities within the area; tourism committee, composed of members directly involved in tourism business in the area, with responsibility of advocating and prompting businesses supporting the tourism industry. Membership committee, which solicits new members and greater participation by existing members, and…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2018 to 2019, from $117k to $183k (+56%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2021 7%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
0% of HERMANN AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (62% for the typical peer).
