President William Howard Taft drew the blueprint for a national institution created to represent the unified interests of U.S. businesses. Since the idea was brought up in the early 20th century, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has evolved to become the largest business federation in the world, consisting of over 3 million businesses, nearly 3,000 state and local chambers, 830 associations and over 100 international branches – including the American Chamber of Commerce in Belgium, AmCham Belgium.
Members
Under the umbrella network of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, large U.S. companies combine with small and medium enterprises in a joint effort to facilitate investment and business around the globe. Members receive access to discounts on services, exclusive networking events, research and publications and to a powerful, grassroots lobbying institution.
Lobby Institution
The Chamber’s strength is in its numbers – meaning the organization has leverage to work around the world as the platform for companies to voice their concerns and create a positive climate for doing business in all corners of the world. Lobby issues and activities include labor, education, environment, technology, immigration, government contracting and all other issues affecting the development of business worldwide.
Publications
In order to connect with its international membership, as well as to develop the knowledge needed to support the organization’s lobbying goals, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce produces numerous publications. Reports and studies typically focus on comparisons between state and international markets, as well as the effectiveness of commerce-related legislation. Publications, including the weekly eNewsletter and monthly magazine, provide details on the latest economic regulations and business movements, along with offering tips and tools to improving your business.
