Chamber of commerce

Have you considered sponsoring a child
Chambers of commerce are business advocacy groups which are usually not associated with government. They are separate from the Better Business Bureau insofar as there is no national organization that binds them under a formal operations doctrine. Chambers of commerce can also include economic development groups, as well as tourism and visitors bureaus.
