About Us

It is the central agency that corrals the forces of the community for its improvement and development - in business, in industry, and in the professions. Together, the Chamber does what no one person can do by himself.

The Chamber is a voluntary organization. It is eight years older than the Declaration of Independence. New York State's Chamber was first, in 1768, then Charleston, South Carolina in 1773. From this early beginning the total number has blossomed to 4,000, with the number of chambers in the United States on a steady increase.
