The Argus Foundation is a 501 (C)(6) just like a Chamber of Commerce. But we are not a Chamber of Commerce.  We focus solely on public policy including policy education. Our Chambers locally provide very important services to the business community including membership services, professional training, concierge services through business, leadership training, and visitor information.

Our Chambers are so very important to our community. The Argus Foundation believes that strong Chambers make a strong community. We are lucky to have great dynamic leadership at our Chambers across the county right now.

In Sarasota, the Sarasota Chamber is hitting it out of the park with CareerEdge in linking businesses with job training and doing it in an efficient way while fulfilling the greatest need in economic development. The Sarasota Chamber is also the de facto go-to for the business community trying to get help through the various government regulations and processes. They are filling an important help desk void that government and other entities have been unable to fill.
