About the Chamber

For more than 45 years, the Arab Chamber of Commerce has brought Arab area businesses together to promote economic growth and prosperity. Founded by a small group of businessmen in 1963, the Chamber has grown to over 300 members and continues to unite businesses and individuals for the common purpose of improving the community in which we live and work.

    Providing leadership training and networking opportunities to further business growth
  • A Partner
    Enhancing workforce initiatives to meet the needs of a growing business community
