What is the Chamber of Commerce?

The Olney Chamber of Commerce is a nonprofit, civic organization made up of local business and organization who work together to make our community thrive. Its activities are funded by members who share a common interest in the economic well-being of the communities collectively referred to as the Greater Olney area.

The Chamber is the voice of local businesses and organizations. When the government or media wants to know what businesses think, they ask us. When new residents or tourists are looking for goods and services, they use our maps and directories. When residents want to know what's available locally, they use our directory for camps, schools, recreation, dining, home services and more!

We do “whatever it takes” to maintain a viable economic climate where individuals and corporations are willing to risk their capital in the expectation of making a profit. Each year the members of the Olney Chamber of Commerce elect officers and a board of directors. The Board of Directors is responsible to the membership for all activities and initiatives undertaken, and a professional staff handles the day-to-day operations.

Why Join the Olney Chamber of Commerce?

More Than a Membership. An Investment in Our Community.

For more than 60 years, the Olney Chamber of Commerce has been bringing businesses, nonprofits, community leaders, and residents together to build a stronger Olney. A Chamber membership isn't simply a listing in a business directory. It's an opportunity to put your business in front of the community, develop relationships that generate referrals, strengthen your online presence, stay informed about local issues, and have a voice in the future of the business community.

As a nonprofit organization, everything we do is centered on one mission: supporting local businesses while strengthening the community we all call home.

Building meaningful business relationships and referrals

Advocating for a strong local business community

Hosting signature community events that bring thousands of people together each year

Supporting economic growth and business success

Creating programs and initiatives that make Olney a vibrant place to live, work, shop, and do business

Every membership helps us continue this work and reinvest in programs that benefit our entire community.

When businesses work together, communities thrive. That's what the Olney Chamber has been committed to for decades—and what we'll continue to do for years to come.

Together, we're connecting our community with our businesses. We're growing businesses, building community.
