Our Mission
The Kennett Chamber of Commerce is organized for the purpose of developing, promoting and protecting the commercial, industrial, professional, agricultural and civic interests of the city and its surrounding area. Our goal is to build healthy economics and improve the quality of life in our regional communities.
The Chamber promotes business and city growth by providing leadership, advocacy, tools and resources for business success and expansion. Strengthening the community, networking with other business people and gleaning information are a few reasons to become a Chamber member.
Our Services
Members Directory: Find out about Kennett Chamber members and their businesses through our up-to-date listings.
Community and Business Promotions: The Chamber promotes your products and services, while working to protect your interests. Chamber members receive full-time representation for year-round results. Our word-of-mouth promotions are also an effective tool, as we recommend member businesses to the hundreds of people who call the Chamber office annually to inquire about our community.
Public Relations: The Kennett Chamber promotes member-to-member business, through our Business After Hours receptions, our ribbon-cutting events, seasonal luncheons, the annual Chamber Banquet, the annual Golf Outing and all the media coverage resulting from these events. These networking opportunities give members the chance to introduce their goods and services to other Chamber members.
Research Service: The Chamber maintains civic, church and business lists, as well as medical, demographic and educational information.
Governmental Liaison: The Chamber gives its membership the chance to connect with local, state and federal representatives, and acts as an advocate in state and federal government matters affecting your business.
