The variety of scope of Chamber activities is unlimited, depending on the needs of the community and the desire and ability of the Chamber volunteers to carry them out. The Chamber is an information agency, maintaining factual data, folders and maps to answer inquiries of all types, whether they are personal interviews, telephone calls, e-mail correspondence or U.S. Mail.

To business prospects and newcomers, the Chamber represents Neosho's front door and is its goodwill ambassador. The Chamber's main objective is to recruit new business and industry to the area and to aid in the expansion of existing business and industry.
