About The Chamber:
The Mount Vernon - Knox County Chamber of Commerce is a private business organization and serves as a vehicle through which the business and professional community are organized to work together to define and solve community and economic development issues as well as network and support each other. The Chamber facilitates pooling these resources to provide business and professional development otherwise unavailable to a business on its own. The Chamber of Commerce also initiates collaborations among municipalities, businesses and the community-at-large.

Because economic success depends upon the health and prosperity of the community, the Chamber is actively engaged in quality of life and advocacy issues. The Chamber is the local business community working as the central agency for civic issues and business promotion and as such is charged with performing tasks and rendering service that benefit all citizens.

The Chamber's membership represent large and small businesses; retail, service, home-based, manufacturing, public service, education and organizations. Chamber members are referred hundreds of times each year. As the community's search engine, tourists, residents and other businesses look first to the Chamber of Commerce for everything from local maps to commercial development.

No one group or individual member could do all that Chambers of Commerce do.
