Recognizing Our Service Organizations By Lynn Bogh Baldi, Director Emertius When we think of our communities we usually think of the local government, the School Districts, the agency's that serve our utility needs, police and fire… all part of what keeps our city running on a smooth track.

These organizations are a vital part of what makes a community a great place to live. Beaumont Chamber of Commerce is a non-profit organization, serving business and community since 1954.
