Our Story & Background

The Chamber was founded with a mission: to encourage entrepreneurs, small businesses, community leaders, in developing meaningful relationships in our community who lack resources.

We recognize that, given the challenges of today’s climate, many graduating students from economically vulnerable communities face barriers to affordable job training, career pathways, and business engagement opportunities. With these entrepreneurs in mind, we are committed to creating access points that empower the next generation of leaders.

Our name reflects the spirit we bring: Chamber, Commerce & Culture symbolizes global business community, and the various traditions that make our region unique—just like the businesses and leaders we serve. 

By combining business engagements with various cultures, we are building a stronger, more united community that honors tradition while embracing growth.
