Small and large businesses from virtually every sector and profession form the membership. We serve the Amherst, Oxford and Sackville, N.B. areas. We also represent and promote the members of the organization. We identify community problems and issues affecting business and work collaboratively with our partners to solve these problems, accomplishing collectively what no business can do alone.

To provide value added services to members. 5. To provide a forum where members can have input into community affairs. |
