About the Chamber of Commerce
What is the Chamber of Commerce?
The Chamber of Commerce is a voluntary organization of business and professional people who are investing time and money in a community development program - working together to improve the economic, civic and cultural well-being of the area.
The McMinnville Chamber of Commerce is membership supported, receiving no city or state funds for our community and business services.
The Chamber is composed of volunteers serving as committee workers and board officers. The professional staff devotes efforts to build strong organizations and carry out the policies determined by the Board of Directors to best represent the interests of the membership.
