Chamber Introductory

Wilkes Chamber of Commerce, a 501 c 6 not for profit organization, is made up primarily of local business and industry. Wilkes Chamber was founded in 1946. We support job creation and promote local economic development.

Wilkes Chamber is an advocate for business and continuously stays abreast of local, state, and national legislation and policies affecting both small and large businesses. Your chamber is the voice for business and the hub for communication in Wilkes County. The Chamber serves as the visitor center for the County providing information to individuals visiting the area as well as relocation materials such as maps, real estate, school and healthcare information to newcomers moving to our county.

Wilkes Chamber is the source for business associates to network and build relationships, creating business to business connections and developing trust between members. Your Chamber facilitates numerous events throughout the year to enable members to meet and become familiar with the services and products offered by chamber associates.

Wilkes Chamber supports leadership development offering programs such as Leadership Wilkes, Wilkes Women in Leadership, and United Teens in Action youth leadership training.

Advocacy and communication are of upmost importance to your Chamber. Wilkes Chamber believes in connectivity, collaboration, and building relationships for the greater good of all. Our belief is “together we all can achieve more”.
