Chamber of Commerce Event Cancellation Policy
The Carleton Place Chamber of Commerce makes every effort to hold monthly events that are of an informative and beneficial nature for our members. This provides our members the opportunity to grow their business and network with other local business owners.
Whenever an event is planned, there will be costs associated that must be covered by those attending. Often these costs will be a commitment for food and beverage service or meeting space based on the number of people expected. Once we have made reservations for a certain number, there will be an expense to the Chamber.
When a member makes a reservation for any event there will be a requirement for that member to pay the advertised charge even if he or she doesn’t actually make it to the event (no-show).
If a person wishes to cancel a reservation, they must provide notice to the Chamber office at least 24 hours before the event or the full fee will be payable.

Working Together to Build Business
 
The question "What will you do for me?" is a recurring question heard by pretty much anyone involved with a Chamber of Commerce.
The question to ask should instead be "What can I do to participate with the Chamber?" Participation is the key to a strong community. And in turn a strong community strengthens businesses in the community.
An active Chamber in your community makes things happen. Not all will propel your business to a new level of corporate utopia, but many will create steps for you to get there. Whether you take advantage of the business to business networking or all behind the scenes work (government lobbying, member discounts, strategic planning) the Chamber can help you gain more from your business investment. But the Chamber can only be as strong as the many voices it represents.
You can help to build a strong Chamber in your community.
Your involvement does not have to translate to a major time commitment. Simple responses to a member survey will often be enough to decide how a community stands on important issues. The Chamber needs your voice to properly represent you and your business investments.
