The Ocean Community Chamber of Commerce is a 501(c)6, non-profit organization, governed by a Board of Directors that is elected by the membership. The group is comprised of dynamic, accomplished and selfless volunteers who share a passion for executing the chamber mission. Their leadership helps promote and advance the economic, civic, commercial, cultural, industrial, and educational interests of the two-state region we serve.
Future-focused governance and guidance from our Joint Executive & Finance Committee helps ensure that we make the best decisions as an organization to simultaneously accelerate the success of our members, while advancing the impact and strength of The Chamber as a vital community organization. -
