Our History and Constitution.
Cambridge is awash with history – most of it emanating from very good thoughts, causes or actions – military or otherwise. And the Chamber of Commerce has its own fair share of matters historically.
The Chamber was established in 1909 and as an incorporated society, we are governed by a set of rules called the constitution.
