The US Chamber of Industry and Innovation is run by its members. A board of directors gets elected who decides strategies and fixes targets. The chairman/chief elected officer has the responsibility to preside over all board meetings. The day-to-day functioning of the chamber is managed by a qualified manager, who typically is a paid staff. Participation of members is enhanced by motivating them to act on committees. Committees can comprise training, economic growth, human resources, government relations, tourism, and public affairs. Members of the Chamber of Industry have to pay token fees as determined by the board/managing committee from time to time.
