Why should my business join the Ottawa Area Chamber?

No matter how big or how small your business is; no matter what services or products you provide; no matter if you're just starting out or if you've been here for decades; The Ottawa Area Chamber has something for you.

We are a 501 C (6) non-profit, a voluntary membership organization that works to advocate for our business community, to create and foster opportunities for new and existing businesses in the area, and to support and uplift our members in any way we can.

But how can joining the Chamber benefit you? 

Increased networking opportunities, access to exclusive events and seminars, access to Chamber resources and e-mail lists, increased online visibility, and personalized support for your business are just some of the examples. And we are constantly changing and growing, always taking suggestions for new avenues of support that we can offer to our members.

Becoming part of the Chamber is also a statement; one that says that your business cares about the community, cares about working together with your fellow local businesses, and that you're here to stay. 

Still not sure? That's okay- Give us a call at 815-433-0084 and let us know what you're looking for out of a Chamber membership so we can answer any of your questions and figure out how we can best serve you.

Membership is open to all businesses and individuals with an interest in doing business in the Ottawa area.
