The Salina Chamber of Commerce is a non-profit organization funded by membership dues, donations, and fundraisers. Our overall objective is supporting our member businesses, overall economic development for Salina, and to manage or support local events to help bring in people to our fine community and support our local businesses while they are in the area.
The Salina Area Chamber of Commerce is made up of a group of citizens and business leaders striving to foster a positive economic environment for future growth. The Chamber strives to encourage, inform, and support the membership on current and future economic development and municipal issues. We continue to work closely with the town officials and leaders to encourage the improvement of infrastructure while searching for ways to invite new businesses and residents to this community.
The Chamber sponsors special events such as the Easter Eggstravaganza, Independence Day Celebration with Fireworks, Fishing Tournaments, Chouteau Day, Turkey Shoot, Christmas Parade, and other community functions.
The Chamber focuses on three prime areas:
1. Support for Member Businesses - Chamber is committed to helping provide area businesses with key information, training, and assistance to help their businesses be more successful.
2. Local Business Advocate - Chamber will act as an advocate on behalf of the business community in regards to supporting or driving issues relating to economic, civil, commercial, industrial and educational growth for the area.
3. Community Support - Chamber supports area community efforts and activities on behalf of those member businesses with particular focus on those areas that encourage business traffic and revenue.
Chamber members elect a leadership board to lead the Chamber meetings, coordinate the creation of various Chamber committies, guide outreach to new businesses, drive new membership, and explore opportunities to help drive local economic development and events.
