West Metro Chamber - February 12, 2018
New Year, New Name!
After more than 70 years of supporting businesses in Jefferson County and the West Metro area, we're changing our name to the West Metro Chamber of Commerce to more accurately reflect our demographics. 

Members will not only see a new name and logo, but a new vision for success. The Chamber Board of Directors branding committee spent 2017 talking with members and conducting two chamber-wide surveys about the name change. The vast majority (more than 85 percent) saw this re-branding as positive and a good impetus for overall growth. We will continue our successful networking programs while branching out with new programs including leadership luncheons and new types of networking groups.

Our mission is to build a strong business community through collaboration, leadership development, education and advocacy.  And, our vision is to be an organization of choice for businesses who value building a diverse, sustainable and prosperous community through collaborative business leadership. We look forward to serving our membership and our community in 2018!   

*Please note that our website and emails will be temorarily down during the transition. Please call our office with any questions:
