Welcome

A Letter From the Executive Director

The Callaway Chamber of Commerce is pleased to provide this resource to our community and those that are looking to relocate to Callaway County. As a Chamber, we focus on the needs of our business community to make Callaway County a more desirable place for people to live. We do this by continuous improvement of economic development for large and small business, workforce, and education. In 2022, the Chamber welcomed 41 new members, held 87 events which included the 1st Annual Show-Me Innovation Collegiate Pitch Competition and The Local Lemon, a Youth Entrepreneur program. In the fall, the Chamber was recognized at the Missouri State Chamber CCEM Conference for the Annual Lovin’ Local Shop Local Campaign. As we move into the new year, the Chamber is committed to continuing and improving these activities that will strengthen and nurture the communities of Callaway County.

Many ask what they can do to support our community. The answer is simple, but the work is ongoing. Shop local, get involved, and find a way to make a positive difference in the community in which you live. Nothing is more powerful than a community working together for the greater good of all. We hope you find this community profile and membership directory a useful guide in accomplishing the goals you set for yourself and/or your business.

The Chamber Board of Directors and staff are looking forward to an exciting 2023 as we welcome Steve Gibson as the new Chamber Board President and Lori Twillman as the new Vice President. We will continue to work on our Strategic Plan that we believe is the course to successfully strengthening our community. We do this by partnering with many businesses, organizations, and individuals in Callaway County to achieve our mission of creating a thriving culture, making Callaway County a place where people choose to live, while creating and celebrating success.

Thank you to everyone that supported the Callaway Chamber of Commerce in 2022. We look forward to an exciting and busy 2023 as we continue to build community for business and family.

Tamara Tateosian Executive Director
