Chamber Overview, Benefits, and Services

The West St. Louis County Chamber of Commerce is a not-for-profit membership organization of businesses and professional people working together to promote the growth and expansion of commerce in the West St. Louis County area. The Chamber represents businesses and the community in eight cities, including Ballwin, Clarkson Valley, Ellisville, Manchester, Twin Oaks, Valley Park, Wildwood, Winchester, and unincorporated St. Louis County.


Membership in the chamber has many advantages. We offer members
networking opportunities, cost-effective advertising, member-to-member
discounts, referrals, and a voice in the community. The West St. Louis County
Chamber also provides programs and services to both the business and
residential communities. Some programs include a Leadership In Practice
Scholarship, a mentoring program, and the collection of canned goods for the
local food pantries. The chamber invites you to become a part of our growing
organization and benefit from all your chamber has to offer. As a member of the
chamber, your business receives many advantages and opportunities:


Networking

Multiply your business contacts and create additional sales
opportunities. The Chamber offers networking opportunities through
monthly luncheons, First Friday Coffees, and after hour
forums. Plan to attend one of our upcoming events...and remember to
bring plenty of business cards.


Your Voice in the Community:

The chamber serves as your voice in the community on local, state,
and national issues as well as regional transportation concerns that
have a potential impact on a business bottom line. The Government
Affairs and Transportation Committee meets with local city and state
officials and the Missouri Department of Transportation to monitor
upcoming and current transportation issues. The chamber was
instrumental in accelerating the widening of Clarkson and Manchester
Road, as it exists today. Additionally, the committee has played a
major role on the Highway 141 project, and continues to meet with the
Missouri Department of Transportation to insure no further delays on
the Highway 141 project.


Community Profile & Membership Directory

Increase awareness of your business. As a member of the chamber,
your company automatically receives a free listing in the annual
directory that is distributed to area residents and businesses. Your
business is listed in three ways: alphabetically; by business
classification; and by the representative's name.

Stay informed on current business issues from experts on a variety
of topics that affect your organization. Educational seminars are for
the advancement of our members and the community with speakers who are
experts on the selected topics. Choose from half-day seminars or
before-hours forums. The chamber offers seminars and workshops to
develop the ever-changing needs of our businesses.



Advertising and Sponsorship Opportunities

All new members receive a free new member spotlight in the monthly
newsletter, The Enterprise. Cost-effective advertising allows you to
market your business at a low cost throughout the year. Sponsoring
events, such as the General Membership Meeting Luncheons, gives members
the opportunity to showcase their services and products.
