What is the Greater Las Cruces Chamber of Commerce?

The Greater Las Cruces Chamber of Commerce is a member led organization consisting of a Board of Directors that determines policy and a professional staff that maintains the day-to-day operations of the chamber. Funding for the chamber comes primarily from member dues, annual training events in Las Cruces and other fund raising activities. The chamber is not a government agency and receives no tax funding.

Membership is open to all businesses that maintain a nominal dues investment. Many other membership benefits include Las Cruces and El Paso business networking opportunities, community involvement, signature training events, information access, New Mexico political advocacy and heightened business credibility.
