How is the Vermont Chamber different from my local chamber of commerce?
The goal of your local chamber is to ensure a positive business climate in your local community. The Vermont Chamber represents the statewide business community in matters of state legislation, with premier business promotion and networking opportunities for all business sectors, as well as exclusive marketing and advertising programs reaching targeted audiences. We strongly suggest supporting both your local chamber and state chamber.
How much time do I need to invest?
It’s up to you. Your business will reap the benefits of membership each and every day, through our year-round advocacy efforts and our programs focused to promoting Vermont’s businesses, tourism and statewide community. You’ll gain even more value by being actively involved in the Vermont Chamber’s programs, services and events.
What networking opportunities does the Vermont Chamber offer?
The Vermont Chamber offers a variety of events and networking opportunities for all business sectors. These events place you in front of key business owners and leaders to promote your business, develop new contacts, learn about new markets, hear what’s happening in the legislative arena, and celebrate the companies and people whose contributions make Vermont a better place to live, work and do business.

I’m already a member of my trade association, should I also join the Vermont Chamber?
We strongly recommend supporting both your trade association and state chamber. Your trade association informs and represents you on issues affecting your specific industry. In addition to your industry issues, you also need a strong ally to fight for you in other important areas affecting your business such as health care, labor issues, taxes and fiscal policy, economic development and so much more. The Vermont Chamber is your voice in Montpelier.
