Guam - "Buy Local' is the campaign that hopes to re-circulate more revenue throughout Guam as well as generate money for the island. With the pledge to think, support and buy local, the Guam Chamber of Commerce, UOG's Pacific Center for Economic Initiatives and GEDA partnered to launch this effort. 22 companies and government agencies also made the pledge today to promote the Buy Local movement.

Committee chairman Jay Rojas said, "The benefit is the more we shift the dollars to the local vendors the more the dollars are able to re-circulate throughout the entire island, its common sense and we understand that, but to be able to have companies to commit to doing this is a big deal for us."

KUAM is also taking part in the movement (see below). If your company is interested in signing the Buy Local Commitment or for more information you can call the Chamber office at 472-6311.
