Tulare Chamber of Commerce membership grew despite Covid challenges

As the effects of the pandemic waned in 2021, the Tulare Chamber of Commerce saw an upswing in membership and business activity in support of Tulare.

That's the report Chamber CEO Donnette Silva Carter gave to the Tulare City Council meeting at its recent meeting. 

"2021... was actually a great year for our chamber. As we started working with our businesses, going into recovery, we had some challenges from COVID, but things got better at the end of the year," she said. "And as we stepped into 2022, it's been a much better year for our local businesses and for your Chamber of Commerce, too. We are 687 members strong now."

The chamber grew by 175 members, and 26 others upgraded their memberships.
