BUSINESSES STARTED
The current leadership, under the umbrella of the Blount Partnership, not only works to bring new business to Blount County, but also to ensure that those businesses already here are being taken care of and supported in every way. Indeed, the Blount Chamber of Commerce serves as the collective voice of the business community.
But thriving businesses doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Business success is fostered in dynamic communities where neighbors care about each other and their shared future. Likewise, Blount County can’t flourish through membership dues to the Chamber alone — members must also be active and visible. To help, the Chamber works to engage members through education, communication, and networking. We can’t do this alone. The Blount Chamber is seeking every potential contributor to a flourishing business community. All we’re missing is tomorrow’s difference-making new member.
All we’re missing is you.
Representation & Advocacy
The Chamber works as a voice for its members in local, state and federal government. Even when you can’t be there, we advocate for your business interests and the interests of our local business community.
Involvement
Our members MAKE THE DIFFERENCE by working to improve the quality of life and the business environment. We support industries and businesses that bring people, employment and a better economy to Blount County.
Building Local, Small Business
Ninety percent of our members are our small business partners. To assist you and other small businesses, the chamber is host to a variety of programs aimed at building business. As a chamber, we try to keep the money flowing and dollars working within the community.
Connections & Relationship Building
The Chamber connects you with the people and information you need to thrive and be successful. You have access to more business professionals at our events than you could ever reach by yourself.
