The Chamber works to make a difference in creating a strong economy in Hawaii.

2. Helping Members Grow
No matter what your vision is for your business' future, the Chamber is prepared to help you achieve your goals and take your business to the next level. The Chamber's wide range of programs and services will help you attract new customers, expand your business base, reduce your cost of doing business and assist with connections that will further your business goals.

Why should I join The Chamber of Commerce of Hawaii?
Protecting entrepreneurs and employers from escalating health and workers comp rates, and other increasing business costs is a full-time effort requiring resources and support. That’s why we fight hard for you at the State Capitol, preserving your right to manage effectively and control costs to your business.

In addition to defeating onerous regulatory and legislative challenges, the Chamber is the leading organization pro-actively supporting improvements in education, transportation, and so much more.

Your membership commitment, along with your fellow business leaders, provides the Chamber with necessary resources to get the job done. Our success is based entirely on your willingness to support us. Your investment impacts the entire state and truly makes a difference.

 
What types of companies join the Chamber?
The Chamber represents small, medium and large businesses. Our membership reflects the diversity of our state as a whole. We represent the interests of all business types from for-profit and non-profit businesses to sole proprietors. More than 75 percent of our members are small businesses, a reflection of Hawaii’s main business population. All share a common vision to continue to find ways to help Hawaii’s business community sustain, grow and expand. Quite simply, we represent a very diverse business community which gives the Chamber excellent credibility when championing business issues.

How are the Chamber’s legislative and regulatory priorities achieved?
As a member-drive organization, the Chamber surveys our membership to determine priorities. With the support of the Chamber committees, the Chambers Business Advocates advocate for those priorities. The Chamber is recognized as the official voice of the business community. 

 
I’m considering membership in my local chamber.  Is there a difference between my local chamber and the state chamber?
Don’t delay, join your local chamber today. Your local chamber works hard to open business opportunities in your community and your investment in your local chamber is as important as paying your electric bill or even your rent.

While local chambers play a very active and important role in enhancing your local community, the state chamber aggressively acts on state legislation and regulation which, if left unchecked, may have a devastating effect on your right to run a profitable business, free from government intervention and red-tape. We strongly suggest supporting both your local chamber and your state Chamber.

How much time do I have to invest as a Chamber member?
Membership in the Chamber takes as much or as little time as you want it to. Many of our members choose what is most practical and beneficial for the effective operating and growth of their business.

Some members, on the other hand, choose to participate in the legislative process by sitting on our committees and task forces, thereby shaping Hawaii's legislation.
