Yeboah is handling the paperwork filing, which includes submitting incorporation papers, receiving a filing receipt and requesting a federal ID number. Later, the chamber will need to file to become a 501c6 non profit. After the initial filing, a bank account can be opened to accept membership dues. 

"What we need next are the committees," said Yeboah. "Those are the working arms of the chamber." Some committees will spearhead events and others will work on increasing membership.
