Public Service

     The Chandler Chamber of Commerce demonstrates a form of public service by serving the businesses in the area as well as the citizens of Chandler.  The Chandler Chamber helps to advocate and support legislation that favors local business and helps them to flourish.  Local businesses are in a way able to use the Chandler Chamber as a hub to network with the city and other entities.  The Chandler Chamber even can assist people that aren't registered with the chamber of issues that aren't even related to regular chamber business.  People will call and ask for directions to places or may want to know where the big events are and the Chandler Chamber helps people with simple tasks as these.
     I wouldn't necessarily say that the Chandler Chamber demonstrates urban governance because they're not able to create legislation or wield power of that nature, but they do have a great deal of influence.  The Chandler Chamber does a great job of educating chamber members of current affairs happening in the city and the state as well as future issues on the radar.  As I've probably mentioned many times, the Chandler Chamber holds biweekly meetings in which guest speakers come and present.  Often they are speakers from other departments of the state that come and talk about what's currently happening in their line of work.  Members of the chamber are allowed to come and sit on on these meetings and ask questions.
