2025 Chair Message
CRYSTAL BENNETT
Republic Services 2025 Chair of the Board
I am excited to welcome you to the Moore Chamber of Commerce and our thriving community of Moore, Oklahoma! Going way back to 1976, I campaigned and knocked doors for my Mother’s State Senate Race. That is when I started my great love for the City of Moore. I have had the privilege to work with the City of Moore since 2013 and I cannot imagine a better community in which to raise a family or build a business. Moore offers a business community that is resilient and dedicated to making Moore one of the best in Oklahoma.
Representing Republic Services at Moore Chamber events is one of my favorite parts of my job. We are extremely blessed to have a Board of Directors and incredible staff who contribute everything they can to ensure Moore remains a suburb seeking excellence in quality of life and promoting business.
While Moore is well known for attracting national brands, we also pride ourselves on championing small and locally-owned businesses We hope to see all business owners thrive in Moore and South OKC, and we offer countless opportunities to make that happen.
I encourage you to check the Chamber’s events calendar often and find a way to get engaged. That’s where the magic happens! From networking and advocacy to skills development, fundraising and more, we have a place for you to plug in and get started on your journey with the Moore Chamber. My personal favorite programs are the Chamber Lunches, allowing people to network and visit with our City leaders and the Women’s Impact Group let’s grab coffee and I’ll tell you all about them!
I look forward to serving as the 2025 Moore Chamber of Commerce Board Chair, and I hope you take advantage of all that Moore has to offer!

Membership in the Moore Chamber of Commerce brings practical benefits that help your business every day The Chamber has dedicated itself to promoting and supporting the interests of the businesses and individuals that comprise its membership
The Moore Chamber of Commerce is a 501 c (6) non-profit, pro-business, private membership organization, working for the community of Moore and it's surrounding area The Chamber unites hundreds of businesses and professional firms, thus creating a ''unified voice'' working to improve business and build better communities. Large and small businesses are members. However, 80% of the members of our Chamber represent Small Businesses with 5 or fewer employees.
The strengths of a Chamber lie in the number and diversity of its membership. The larger the membership, the greater the pool of resources from which ideas, energy and finances can be drawn. The Chamber is not a department of the City, County, or State government, a political body, a civic club or professional society, a charitable institution, or a public relations or advertising agency.
