U.S. Chamber Awards Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce with 4-Star Accreditation
 
The United States Chamber of Commerce today awarded the Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce with 4-Star Accreditation for its sound policies, effective organizational procedures, and positive impact on the community.
 
“Business leaders are a critical voice in conversations about promoting economic growth and job creation in their communities.” said Raymond P. Towle, IOM, CAE, U.S. Chamber vice president of Federation Relations and Institute for Organization Management. “Accreditation honors a chamber’s work to enhance the quality of life for its members and its region.”
 
Accreditation is the only national program that recognizes chambers for their effective organizational procedures and community involvement. In order to receive Accreditation, a chamber must meet minimum standards in their operations and programs, including areas of governance, government affairs, and technology. This extensive self-review can take 6-9 months to complete. 
 
Local chambers are rated Accredited, 3-Stars, 4-Stars, or 5-Stars. State chambers are recognized as either Accredited State Chamber or Accredited State Chamber with Distinction. The final determination is made by the Accrediting Board, a committee of U.S. Chamber board members. 

The Castle Rock Chamber is one of only two chambers in the state of Colorado that have received a star level accreditation. View list here. 
 
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is the world’s largest business federation representing the interests of more than 3 million businesses of all sizes, sectors, and regions, as well as state and local chambers and industry associations.
 
The purpose of the Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce:
  • Support, encourage and promote member businesses in our community;
  • Be a “voice” for businesses to local and regional government;
  • Foster a livable, vital community where quality of life and positive growth are both possible
  • Educate business, government entities, youth and individuals regarding business acumen, leadership and entrepreneurial development
