HUNTERDON COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE PROGRAMS & SERVICES

WWW.HUNTERDONCHAMBER.ORG

HUNTERDON COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Established in 1916, what is now the Hunterdon County Chamber of Commerce set out to support a pro-business climate and its existing businesses in the County. It is still in that business. Much has changed in the Hunterdon County in 100+ years yet the County Chamber of Commerce continues in the forefront of county and regional business.

Today’s Hunterdon County Chamber of Commerce is much more than a hub of networking. It is a business community focusing on resource development, targeted informational programs, sharing its collective intelligence, advocating on behalf of its business members and one whose members celebrate excellence and achievement.

Whether it’s connecting business-tobusiness, exploring government relations or providing business and professional development programs, the Chamber is committed to finding the right mix for the various market segments comprising its membership. The Chamber also works Countywide to publicize the recreational and other tourist attractions available for visitors, business travelers and County residents who want to Discover Hunterdon.

The Hunterdon County Chamber invites its member businesses to participate in creating its own business community. As each company chooses to join the Chamber it becomes integrated into that community, into the brand.

More than 600 companies strong and representing over 15,000 full time employees, the Chamber endeavors to create meaningful partnerships that enhance the business environment. Each company becomes part of that countywide

community by contributing to the direction and decisions of the various committees and task forces, by volunteering with programs and events, by raising collective concerns, by contributing to monthly publications and presenting itself on both the Chamber’s and Hunterdon Tourism websites.

It is the task of the board and staff to govern and lead the organization for its members, to represent them, listen and respond to them and plan for an ever-expanding program of work that provides real and practical value in return for an investment of time and money. From advocating, to municipal vitality, to providing general programming, to engaging its vertical marketing (customized interest) groups, the Chamber serves as a collective voice for its members where and when it matters.

The Hunterdon County Chamber of Commerce welcomes you, your business, your employees and your ideas. It is, after all, the businesses of the region that make up who and what the Chamber is and does. On behalf of the Board of Directors, Staff and fellow business colleagues, you are invited to participate in creating a balanced, pro-business environment toward the creation of a sustainable business future for Hunterdon County. Hunterdon County vitality is everyone’s business.
