Our Mission
The Hillsborough/Orange County Chamber of Commerce is the primary advocate for the area business community. We champion member-business development and economic growth through innovative community collaboration and partnerships with government, businesses and organizations.

Membership in the Chamber lends extra credibility to your concerns about government and issues surrounding the community.

The Chamber is a private, non-profit (501c6) organization founded in 1966, funded largely through membership fees and special events. We are not a governmental entity and are not affiliated with the State of NC or the federal Department of Commerce.

In addition, the Chamber of Commerce is a source of information for people relocating to this area. We provides access to information about members, businesses and government agencies. In a way, we function as a marketing agency for its members and for the area, promoting special events and day-to-day activities that attract visitors and business considering relocation. But, as with any membership organization, we encourage members to actively participate in order to derive the most benefit from their investment, as well as to strengthen our efforts in serving this community.
