All Alberta chambers now members of Canadian Chamber of Commerce
Fourteen chambers in Alberta have covered the cost of 2010 memberships for the 88 Alberta chambers that were not members of the Canadian Chamber to join the national federation. As a result of this monetary support, all 124 chambers of commerce in Alberta are now members of the national organization for the remainder of this year.
The memberships provide Alberta with the possibility of carrying a significant number of votes at the Canadian Chamber's AGM in September. If your chamber is interested in having an attending Alberta delegate carry your chamber's proxy vote at the national policy session, please fill out the voting authorization form and fax it to our office at 780.429.1061.
