Monthly Meetings of the members, in the Chamber's Great Hall, operate on the "town meeting" plan - one prominent speaker - members enjoy a personal contract luncheon as guests of the Chamber.

Advance Pamphlet informs members of Committees' reports and resolutions to be acted on by the members at each monthly meeting. The Chamber's judgment has been widely approved editorially.

Monthly Bulletins give members a complete report of each meeting and information regarding current activities of the Chamber.
