PROGRAMS
OF THE
GREATER STOCKTON CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
The
Greater Stockton Chamber of Commerce has developed several
programs that help our members succeed. Some programs are
designed to directly help members with their day to day
operations and marketing efforts. Others act as business
advocates and watchdogs; they work to improve the local business
environment for the future of all Chamber members.
The
programs of the Greater Stockton Chamber of Commerce work for
our members in a variety of ways. The Government
Relations Council (GRC) acts as a political watchdog and
advisor to local and state legislators. The Manufacturers
Industrial Distribution Roundtable (MIDR) give Chamber
members a forum to discuss industry specific issues. The Chamber
works to improve the education and quality of the local
workforce through programs like the Business
Education Alliance (BEA), Stockton
Chamber Apprenticeship Program (SCAP), and the Resources
Enriching Chamber Affiliation Program (RECAP). Environmentally
friendly business practices are studied and implemented through
the Chamber's Recycling
Market Development Zone (RMDZ or The Zone). The future leaders of the Central
Valley are being identified and educated through the Chamber's Leadership
Stockton program.
The
Greater Stockton Chamber of Commerce has a program to help its
members with nearly any problems they may encounter. To become
