A message from our Board President:
Exciting News – The Wayne Chamber of Commerce is Becoming the Wayne County Chamber of Commerce!
We are thrilled to share an exciting development with you. The Wayne Chamber of Commerce, established in 1938, is evolving into the Wayne County Chamber of Commerce to better serve not only Wayne but the entire county! This shift represents a bold step forward in fostering greater collaboration, expanding economic growth, and creating a more unified voice for businesses across the region.
Here’s why this change matters:
- Regional Growth & Influence: By becoming the Wayne County Chamber of Commerce, we’re positioning ourselves to represent a broader base of businesses and advocate more effectively for the region. This new alignment will allow us to expand networking opportunities, resources, and support to businesses across the entire county—helping everyone thrive.
- Stronger Partnerships: Our goal is to create a more connected business ecosystem. The transformation will allow us to forge stronger relationships with neighboring chambers and municipalities, creating synergies that benefit all members. We understand that some cities and towns do not have their own local chambers, and some chambers have had to combine to survive. By coming together under one county-wide umbrella, we can strengthen the business community as a whole.
- Enhanced Resources: With a county-wide focus, we’ll have the ability to offer even more robust programming, educational opportunities, and specialized services tailored to meet the unique needs of diverse industries in Wayne County.
- Unified Advocacy: A stronger, united voice for our businesses will carry more weight with government agencies, regional development organizations, and economic stakeholders. By banding together, we can advocate for policies and initiatives that support our local businesses and create a better environment for growth.
Having been a trusted part of this community since 1938, we are deeply committed to the success of our members. As we evolve into the Wayne County Chamber of Commerce, we look forward to fostering even stronger collaboration and growth across our entire region.
