The Le Center Area Chamber of Commerce welcomes your interest and inquiries.

The Le Center Area Chamber of Commerce is a voluntary organization of individuals and businesses who have joined together to advance common interests in the field of commerce, agriculture, industry, retailing, government, education, recreation, tourism and labor and consumer relations.  it also serves as an information gathering and distribution bureau.

Our philosophy is to encourage involvement not only of business owners and managers, but also of employees. Many opportunities for varying levels of involvement are available. They include:

Ribbon Cuttings - New businesses in the community are welcomed with a visit from chamber members and a symbolic cutting of the ribbons to open the doors. Businesses which have moved, expanded, remodeled or made other significant changes are also recognized in this manner.

Business After Hours - Businesses have the opportunity to host chamber members at their establishment, explain about the products and services offered, introduce key employees and give a tour of the operation. This is an informal gathering to help acquaint the community with the wide variety of opportunities that exist here.

Membership Meetings
- The general membership meets once per quarter. A short business meeting featuring reports on current activities is followed by entertaining and educational program. Past examples have included small business development center, occupational health and legislative updates from our local representatives.
