Message from the President

president Who We Are

Founded in 1927, the Darke County Chamber of Commerce is proud of its business community and the strength of our united membership.  The Chamber has more than 400 member businesses with unparalleled expertise and collective influence, all working hand-in-hand.  Much of the Chamber’s strength lies with its volunteers—local business people who promote the Chamber through programs, activities, committees, and events. 

The Chamber represents the interests of business at all levels of government, supports business-friendly ballot measures, creates a strong local economy and promotes the community.  The Chamber allows members to access a wide range of programs, services and benefits, at one central location—a convenient and valuable service for those business owners and entrepreneurs whose time is precious.  The Chamber is a resource for business plans, business administration, business regulations, starting a small business, human resources, and many other business needs. 

By investing in the Darke County Chamber, you leverage the strength of a dynamic organization with a proven track record in promoting a healthy economy.  Businesses are encouraged to support the Darke County Chamber's efforts, for a business community can only be as strong as its Chamber.

While you tend to your business, the Darke County Chamber advocates for you by developing a climate in which business can create jobs and operate at a profit. 

We invite you to become involved.
