A volunteer board of trustees governs the Chamber and a professional staff of more than 60 runs the day-to-day operations. A private, member-funded organization, the LVCC is the largest, most influential business organization in the state of Nevada and the third-largest local Chamber of Commerce in the United States. Of its over 6,700 members, 85 percent are small businesses with 25 or fewer employees.
