Chairman's Message

Dear Members,

I invite you to become a member of the most active, beneficial, results oriented business organization in our region...the River Region Chamber of Commerce.

For more than 6 years, we have enjoyed extraordinary success in St James, St John, and St Charles Parishes. Our communities continue to grow with
opportunities for businesses to expand and thrive. Through our numerous weekly and monthly events, our Chamber continues to offer educational forums, networking meetings, and seminars to increase awareness and create streamlined business operations. We are working on a new membership
directory and invite you to participate in this initiative. It is a great way to promote your business to other Chamber members as well as the general
public.

Many small to mid-size businesses may wonder what value there is in joining the Chamber of Commerce. The lunch n learn topics are top notch and designed to educate and inspire. We have already conducted classes with topics pertaining to employment law, diversity in the work place, social networking, understanding credit, quick books, and many more. If you are interested in a particular area that has not been offered, please contact the Chamber office or send us an email and we would be happy to find the
resources necessary to fulfill that request. Our Distinguished Social Events (DSE’s) have increasingly become popular and we now have a waiting list for table sponsors. These events create excellent opportunities for networking and showcasing your business.

We certainly understand that therecent oil spill tragedy may impact our region and will absolutely have a devastating effect on our state’s economy. We joined with other Chambers’ of Commerce in opposing the six month moratorium on deep water drilling. We will continue to monitor this event and respond to the business community that we serve in hopes of minimizing the impact of this disaster.

Please check out our website for the latest developments, a calendar of events, and business spotlights. You will find us at www.riverregionchamber.org. On behalf of the Chamber’s Board of Directors and staff, we invite you to get involved in YOUR Chamber. Be a part of an organization that does make a difference. Come Grow with US!
