Welcome again, and hopefully you remember we are discussing real estate in Long Island in our blog. Let’s talk today about Long Island Chamber of Commerce. We hope it will not only be interesting but also useful.

A chamber f commerce also called sometimes a board of trade is a form of a business network. It can be a local gathering of businessmen created to further the interests of business in some particular area. Owners of business firms and entities gather into such societies to represent the business community and advocate their interest on behalf of commerce and business. Any local business can become a member and the elected board of directors makes important decisions, draws up policies and has a right to hire a President, CEO or executive director of the Chamber.
From what we know today the first chambers of commerce appeared in 1599 in France and Belgium. The world’s oldest English-speaking chamber of commerce was established in New York City in 1769. Since then Chambers of commerce have been springing up in all cities across the nation. Today’s long island chambers of commerce have a variety of functions. This we’ll discuss in our next posts. We hope everyone enjoyed this one.
Everyone, welcome back to our discussions of living, renting and buying on Long Island. Let’s talk about some highlights of staying in this wonderful place today.
