Support Your Local Chamber Day

Support Your Local Chamber of Commerce Day, which takes place on the third Wednesday of every October, is a great time to highlight the work that chambers do every day to promote free enterprise, boost the economy, and celebrate their local communities.

Let’s look at some of the behind-the-scenes work chambers, including their staff and volunteers, do on a regular basis.

Advocating on Behalf of Business

Chambers of commerce are the voice of their local business communities with policymakers and government entities. Whether it’s lobbying for favorable business regulations or advocating for the interests of local small business owners, when it impacts the business community, you can count on your chamber’s involvement.

Promoting Economic Development

From attracting new businesses to their communities to helping existing businesses expand, promoting economic development is a top priority for chambers.

Helping Businesses Thrive

Chambers provide the resources local businesses need to grow and thrive, like networking opportunities to connect with new customers and other businesses.

Serving Communities

Whether it’s promoting tourism or engaging communities in major events, chambers of commerce place bettering their communities at the top of their to-do lists.
