Given a nudge, Boulder’s Chamber commits to a review

At the prompting of a dissatisfied member, the Boulder Area Chamber of Commerce has agreed to review its current strategy — including the question of how it can best serve local business owners.

At the BACC’s August 19 board meeting, Carey Burnside told directors: “As a business owner, I strongly feel a major change has to take place if this Chamber is to fulfil its purpose – because now, it’s not doing that.”

Burnside, the owner of Arctic Heat, has voiced her criticism of the Chamber before — most recently in a July 6 letter that was made public by the BACC. In it, Burnside essentially questioned whether the Chamber was equipped to advance the interests of its members.
