Our Focus
We are the Summit County Chamber of Commerce
Our number one focus is to be a catalyst, convener, and champion of every one of our members and our entire community!
We focus on Economic Development, Networking and Events, Business Advocacy, Talent and Workforce, and Education and Resources.
Economic Development
As a Chamber, our goal is to support Summit County Businesses. By offering businesses detailed information on local population statistics, workforce availability, and other key data, we empower companies to expand and boost the local economy through job creation and tax revenue growth.Â

Networking & Events
We hold monthly networking events and opportunities for members and non-members to be able to commune and connect.Â
There is also a multitude of ways to connect with other local business owners such as our Leads Groups, Chapters, Committees and Volunteer opportunities.
Business Advocacy
Summit County Chamber is proud to be a local business advocate.Â
We have a direct line to our state representatives and are knowledgeable about legislative issues that may affect Summit County, CO and businesses.Â
We partner with other Chambers in the mountain communities through Mountain Chamber Alliance to “advance public policy goals that enhance economic vitality and oppose those that negatively impact our communities and businesses across the mountain region.”
We want to ensure our mountain communities have a voice on regional and state issues of importance.
