ELWOOD CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

Building Business • Building Community

MISSION
The Elwood Chamber of Commerce supports and champions the local community by promoting economic growth, advocating responsible government, and building solid foundations for a future that is bright and rewarding for all.

MESSAGE FROM CHAMBER

The united voice for Elwood commerce since 1936, the Elwood Chamber of Commerce is an organization representing a variety of interests from within the community. Our membership is composed of privately owned small businesses, local operations of national chain stores, retail stores, factories, restaurants, service providers, churches, civic organizations, financial institutions, government offices, medical providers, and private individuals.
  The Elwood Chamber is honored to represent our beautiful city. Whether we are greeting our numerous out-of-town visitors, serving as the goodwill ambassador, or partnering with area businesses and leaders to achieve a multiplicity of goals, we aim to be an indispensable resource for our members and our city.
  Our community is always striving for improvement and growth, and its challenges become more clearly defined as our members interface with like-minded entrepreneurs, professionals, experts, and friends and draw from one another’s unique experience.
  Now, more than ever, working together to seek answers and effect change is crucial. Success is built on solid relationships and the discovery that we are not alone.
  Separately, we can do so much; but together, we can do so much more.
