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.
