Mission, Vision, DEI Statement & Strategic Plan

Picture
The Greater Bethesda Chamber is driven by its mission and vision, as outlined in the Strategic Plan.

​Our Mission:  SUPPORTING, INSPIRING AND ADVOCATING FOR BUSINESS TO BETTER OUR COMMUNITY.

Our Vision: TO BE THE CORNERSTONE FOR BUSINESS, GROWTH AND PROSPERITY.

DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION STATEMENT

One of Montgomery County’s strongest assets is our rich diversity.  We are proud to welcome all to our community, regardless of age, race, gender, religion, ability, ethnicity and sexual orientation. It is vital that our residents, businesses and leaders embrace inclusion by respecting the rights and dignity of all people.  Our County must continue to be a place where all feel that they belong.
  • We will support policies that promote and respect diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility.  
  • We will support policies that protect people from hostility or discrimination.  
  • We are dedicated to being transparent, sharing information, and respecting all community members. 
 
Strategic Direction: In setting our course for the next few years, our members have spoken, and the Chamber’s Board has listened. To be recognized as the cornerstone for business, and to be the top promoters of business growth in Greater Bethesda, we have committed to providing leadership for business advocacy and exceptional networking opportunities for our members. We are raising our voices to be heard by our elected officials, and our members will see more events tailored to their needs. We go to bat for the business owner.
