This is a Latin phrase, meaning 'one from many,' or, 'out of many, one,' which was chosen for the Continental Congress when a new country was created from our original thirteen colonies.
A 1956 law established this phrase as the official motto for the country. It was, however, adopted by an Act of Congress in 1782 as the motto for the Seal of the United States, and has been used on coins and paper money since 1795.
Our motto references the birth of a nation, formed when thirteen small colonies joined together. As Aristotle said, the sum of the parts is greater than the whole.
That is the basis and understanding for the formation of the American Chamber Of Commerce, a private B2B networking platform that is a hybrid combination of social media, marketing agency, business consulting and your local chamber of commerce.
In the United States, there are millions of small businesses, including individual solopreneurs that stand alone in a sea of competition, primarily relying on trial and error to achieve the right balance between costs and profits.
The American Chamber plans to change that formula by allowing small businesses and startup ventures to join together in a national network for doing what we consider "Good Business."
One of the key features we are presenting is in leveraging the collective purchasing power of our growing membership. The larger our membership, the greater value we offer the strategic partners of our Business Stack (and subsequently greater discounts).
Avoiding costly trial and error, saving through group purchases, and other features like our Pooled Employer Plan (PEP) through Paychex, Inc., demonstrate the value of a volume of like-minded businesses joining together as a single entity... out of many, one.
