Meetings of the Board of Directors and Officers of the Ontario Chamber of Commerce are conducted once a month at 3:30 p.m. at Casey Park Office Building, 6551 Knickerbocker Rd., Ontario, on the third Monday of each month. The public and chamber members are welcome to attend.
The Ontario Chamber of Commerce had its beginning back in 1928 and was originally named the Board of Trade. The purpose was to promote town affairs. Through the years the organization remained constant in its endeavors to help the town develop. Around 1945 the name changed to the Chamber of Commerce to become affiliated with the United States Chamber of Commerce in Washington, D.C. Now, as in the past, the Ontario Chamber of Commerce remains dedicated to civic and business activities.
Today, we provide resources and opportunities that you’ll find immense value in, including:
- Networking Events: Connect with potential clients, partners, and mentors at our regular mixers, luncheons, and special events.
- Business Advocacy: Benefit from our efforts to represent the interests of local businesses at all levels of government.
- Marketing and Promotion: Gain visibility through our member directory, email blasts social media spotlights, business of the month; business tours, opportunities to sponsor events and much more.
- Educational Resources: Access workshops and seminars designed to help your business thrive.
We look forward to seeing you at our next event and working together to strengthen our local economy.
You do not need to be an Ontario business or resident in order to join the Chamber. Membership is open to the general public and the same level applies for a resident or a business with annual dues of $50.00. Not a member yet? Download, print and return our MEMBERSHIP FORM to join!
