East Lake County Chamber of Commerce is your organization. Our work focuses on promoting commerce and community. We are involved in many local organizations, projects and issues affecting our community. Your membership connects you to these efforts, and helps you build relationships as you participate in our networking events. We offer monthly luncheons and business after hours. We welcome businesses with ribbon cuttings and celebrations. We communicate through our website, social media, newsletters and emails.

Now is the time to get involved! It is the goal of East Lake Chamber to support the development of a strong, unified business community and help East Lake businesses prosper and grow as well as contribute to the overall economic stability of our county.  Your chamber membership is much more than the benefits you receive. You are part of the business community. You are building your business through your community!
