The Chamber

Our success depends on yours. We connect our members to the people, information and resources that give your business the competitive advantage it needs to grow, in every economy, so that we can collectively make the Richmond region a better place to live, work and play.

Our footprint includes nine jurisdictions:

• City of Richmond
• The Counties of Henrico, Chesterfield, Powhatan, Goochland, Hanover, New Kent and Charles City
• Town of Ashland

Our programming allows you to engage in activities that help ensure a successful future, and our benefits and advertising opportunities provide ways to save money and reach new clients. Visit our Membership section to learn more about joining the Chamber.

Our priorities are simple:

• We advocate and support positive change in the community, based on the needs of our members and local business.
• We offer members compelling engagement opportunities, whether it’s by participating on Chamber committees or local Business Councils, networking at one of our more than 100 yearly events, or developing professional skills through educational workshops.
• We understand the need for strong workforce and business development initiatives. Our Small Business and Workforce Development centers provide training and consulting to small business owners throughout the region.
• Our strong services, tangible value and return on investment for Chamber members help sustain the capacity, viability and success of our organization.

Our history is long. Since 1867, the Greater Richmond Chamber has taken the lead to enhance and institute change in the Richmond Region, making the region an ideal location for businesses to prosper.

The Chamber, a not-for-profit business membership association with more than 1,200 members and a professional staff of 22, is a catalyst for business development and the voice of business in Greater Richmond.
