The Chamber of Commerce exists to serve as a driving force for growth, connection, and opportunity within our community. Our mission is to support local businesses, foster economic development, and create a welcoming environment where entrepreneurs and community members can thrive together.

We are guided by a dedicated Board of Directors made up entirely of volunteers who generously contribute their time, talent, and expertise. These individuals represent a wide range of local businesses and organizations, and they work collaboratively to shape the vision and direction of the Chamber. Their commitment ensures that the Chamber remains a strong advocate for our members and a positive influence in the community.

Our Goals

• Promote Local Business – Encourage residents and visitors alike to shop, dine, and invest locally.
• Build Connections – Provide networking opportunities and events that bring together business leaders, entrepreneurs, and community members.
• Support Growth – Offer resources, training, and advocacy to help businesses succeed in a changing economy.
• Strengthen Community – Partner with schools, civic groups, and organizations to enhance quality of life and community pride.

At its heart, the Chamber of Commerce is about collaboration. Together, with the dedication of our volunteer leaders and the support of our members, we are building a stronger, more vibrant community for today and the future.
