Memphis Regional Chamber Challenges
This is an interesting article on changing priorities of chambers of commerce—in this instance, in Memphis, Tenn. My friend Dave Cooley was president of the Memphis Chamber in the 1960s and again in 1985-95. His words back then remain relevant today:
“The greatest barrier to a better Memphis is ignorance. What are some of the problems of urban growth — a deteriorating central city, bad housing for a large percentage of our people, lack of skills training, poor workers mobility, undereducated and underemployed people in large numbers, token acceptance of blacks in decision-making.”
