A handful of dedicated business people founded the St. Charles Chamber of Commerce in 1922. The St. Charles Chamber is a member-financed organization, which is not affiliated with any government agency. The Chamber accepts a leadership role on behalf of our members for promotion, networking and development of business in all sectors of our economy. Our members represent the best in business of all types. From retail trade and professional services, to e-commerce, manufacturing and international importing and exporting, Chamber members provide goods and services, jobs and tax revenue that benefit our residents, our community and our world.

Members of our organization enjoy a virtual buffet of opportunities. They are involved in powerful committee work with the Large Business and Legislative, Small Business and Membership committees. Members attend monthly after-hours events, Women's Business Council luncheons and Small Business Lunch 'N Learn programs. They may join LEAD$ groups - non-competing networking and referral groups. Other member favorites are the Annual Charlemagne Awards Dinner, Annual Golf Outing, Business-to-Business Expo and "State of the Chamber" Member Breakfast. Other benefits include links on our website, regular business programs to address current business topics, cutting-edge seminars and workshops, Business Greeter and Residential Greeter programs, grand opening and ribbon cutting services, and access to our membership lists. Our Leadership St. Charles Program is a ten month professional development program created to enhance civic, social and professional skills, while developing current and future community leaders.

The St. Charles Chamber of Commerce is all about networking and connections - to our homes, our businesses and our community. We believe that people like doing business with people they know and trust. We welcome you to explore our website to see how we can accommodate you. We ARE business in St. Charles!
