Tuesday, Feb. 2, seven local chambers of commerce met in Bisbee to discuss the specific needs of their member businesses. The outcome of this meeting was the development of the Southeastern AZ Rural Chamber's Alliance.
Member chambers include Benson/San Pedro, Bisbee, Douglas, Bowie, Willcox, Tombstone, Pearce/Sunsites and Graham County.
The formation of this alliance to meet unique needs of local area businesses is a natural outgrowth of each group determining independently that state and federal chamber of commerce groups simply are not equipped to help with the challenges facing rural businesses.
The needs of metropolitan area businesses are of necessity to the consuming interest of these larger groups, leaving rural businesses with little or no benefit to being part of these entities.The Southeast AZ Rural Chamber Alliance will cross-promote events helping to drive more business to each area and increase the economic growth of the area as a whole. The seven initial members agreed to meet on a quarterly basis, communicate about events and to share mutual issues.
