What is ASCP?
ASCP stands for Association of State Chamber Professionals. The group consists of the top membership, marketing, and non-dues staff members from state chambers of commerce (and other organizations with similar missions, but varying names) from across the country. Our goal is to help each other succeed. Since we are not in competition with each other, the executives at each chamber can freely exchange ideas. Those ideas that worked in one state might work in another. No sense “re-inventing the wheel” when someone else may have tried an idea already! For more information, see About ASCP.
Who can join ASCP?
To be eligible for membership, an organization must be either a state chamber of commerce, or a state business association not in competition with a state chamber of commerce.
