The Independence Civic Council is comprised of Chamber members who contribute a minimum of $500 annually as an investment in our community. Members are not limited to the minimum contribution. Submission of requests for funding is initiated by contacting Tom Lesnak tom@ichamber.biz via email or phone 816-463-3510. Requests for funding are forwarded to the ICC Chairperson who has sole discretion in scheduling a meeting of ICC members to hear the proposal. When possible, more than one request is presented at a meeting.
Following each presentation, members in attendance discuss the merits of the proposal and those present are offered a single vote on each of two questions;
- “Shall the ICC fund this effort?”
- “How much funding shall we provide to this worthy cause?”
Any member of the Independence Chamber of Commerce is eligible to become a member of the ICC. Membership is open to Chamber employees. Membership of the ICC requires an annual contribution of $500 or greater.
A business may contribute any amount over $500. Each business receives a single vote, regardless of the amount donated.
