Involvement Brings Success

The Greater Pocono Chamber of Commerce is made up of business people committed to improving the business climate of our area. Our goal is to provide our membership with opportunites to showcase themselves and their business throughout the year.  By attending monthly card exchanges, breakfast and luncheon meetings as well as workshops and seminars, businesses have over 100 separate opportunities to meet and interact with fellow business members. Committee involvement is encouraged.  Your involvement puts you on the track to success.

Promoting Prosperity

In a way, you can view your Chamber membership as "civic rent." Through your membership investment, you support many activities vital to the quality of our community. You also tap into a broad base of support dedicated to promoting new business opportunities.

And don’t forget! Your membership dues are tax deductible as a business expense!
