“What, exactly, does a Chamber of Commerce do?” isn’t a new question to us at the Greater Valley Chamber of Commerce.
Simply put: a Chamber’s mission is to identify and serve the needs and interests of the local business community. Our volunteers, who serve on an array of active committees, drive this mission. These committees work with our professional staff to develop and execute plans for enhancing the general business atmosphere of our region. We act as a catalyst for business networking, an interest bureau, a research and promotion medium, a civic clearinghouse, and a legislative representative at local, state, and national levels of government. But above all this, the Chamber is the people—people like you who realize that through the Chamber, we can accomplish collectively what no one individual can do alone.
The Greater Valley Chamber of Commerce, established in 1964, represents the business community of Ansonia, Beacon Falls, Derby, Oxford, Seymour, Shelton, and the surrounding area. Chamber members represent the cross-section of our area’s businesses. Chamber members are everyone from home-based sole proprietors to large corporations with multiple branches. No matter how large or small your business is, we value the contribution you make to our community.
And, while business has certainly changed since 1964, our desire to meet your needs has not. We invite you to come to our events, join the different Chamber committees, participate in local government, and obtain business assistance. There’s a lot for you to learn and discover about the Chamber and the countless opportunities available to enrich your business. Membership is available to any reputable business, firm, individual, association, corporation, or partnership having an interest in the objectives of the Chamber.
You can find us at our new location, 10 Progress Drive, 2nd Floor, Shelton. We can be reached the 203-925-4981 from 8:00 am—4:30 pm, Monday through Friday. www.greatervalleychamber.com
