What does the Chamber do, exactly?

Founded in 1913, the Greater Carlisle Area Chamber of Commerce has been serving the Carlisle, Pennsylvania, Area for more than 100 years.  Our mission is to serve as a community catalyst that encourages and supports economic growth and stability.  How exactly do we do that?

We listen to our members, as well as our community partners to ensure the Carlisle Area thrives

In order to do that:

  • We help connect people to what they need to start a business here, grow a business here -- or even move a business to Carlisle.
  • We plan, host, and partner in diverse networking and professional-development events.
  • We foster dialogue and communication with our members and community partners, about how we can better support them.
  • We offer exclusive advertising opportunities to members, that showcase their business.

...and much, much more!

We also help guests and tourists find what they're looking for, in order to have the best visit possible.  Need recommendations for everything from lodging to shopping and sightseeing while you're in town?  We can refer you to chamber members and community partners.  And if you're staying longer than a vacation, we can help with relocation information, too!

Chamber Committees

In addition to our board and staff, Chamber Committees help plan and lead ways to best serve our members and community.  If you are a member or plan on joining soon, please also consider contacting us about how you can get involved through a committee!
