Chamber Mission

To promote and enhance the commercial, industrial, agricultural, civic and cultural well-being of Columbia-Adair County. Members pride themselves upon being part of one of the most exciting and influential business organizations in the Commonwealth. The Chamber deals with key issues facing Columbia and Adair County through an extensive committee structure, in which members give their valuable time to be actively involved on a committee. They belong to the Chamber because they believe in the Chamber’s mission and goals. Chamber members represent new and existing businesses, organizations, or interested individuals and there is strength in this because the Chamber is a true voice of the community. The Chamber Board meets the second Tuesday of each month at 10:30 a.m.  The Chamber monthly meeting follows at 11:45 a.m.
Please join us at our next meeting.
