Newark, Ohio - The United States Chamber of Commerce today awarded the Licking County Chamber of Commerce with Accredited status for its sound policies, effective organizational procedures, and positive impact on the community.
“Accreditation validates a chamber as having programs that benefit their local economy and for positively influencing action in their community,” said Raymond P. Towle, IOM, CAE, U.S. Chamber Executive Director of Political Affairs and Federation Relations. “We applaud these organizations for advancing the principles of free enterprise.”
Accreditation is the only national program that recognizes chambers for their effective organizational procedures and community involvement. In order to receive Accreditation, a chamber must meet minimum standards in their operations and programs, including areas of governance, government affairs, and technology. This extensive self-review can take 6-9 months to complete.
“This prestigious honor puts us among the top 3% of chambers nationwide”, said President Cheri Hottinger. “Going through the Accreditation process has made us a better chamber and has enabled us to serve our members in ways we never did before. It is certainly a milestone achievement.”
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is the world’s largest business federation representing the interests of more than 3 million businesses of all sizes, sectors, and regions, as well as state and local chambers and industry associations.

Interview with Speaker John Boehner
Finally sifted through my mail today and came across this interview the US Chamber did with Speaker of the House John Boehner.
Excerpt:
Q: How do we pay down our debt?
A: First of all, the discretionary spending side is about one-third of our budget. We just need to look at every single line item of the budget and ask ourselves, 'When you're borrowing 40 cents for every dollar that you're spending, do we really need to do this?' But that's only one-third of the problem. The big problems are the growing unfunded entitlement programs - Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. And you'll see us this year begin to develop proposals for how we strengthen those programs for the long term.
