Why not join? The Southern Chester County Chamber of Commerce (SCCCC) is the region's leading non-profit membership based organization focused on promoting trade, commerce, industry and sustainable economic development. We support a diverse and growing business segment including a wide variety of entrepreneurs, small and mid-size private employers, non-profit organizations, corporate leaders, institutions, health care services, and more. The Southern Chester County Chamber offers membership opportunities for businesses of all sizes as well as non-profit organizations, institutions, and corporations. Whether your business is large or small, you will find value in our many programs, events, and opportunities designed to help you grow.
Face-to-face interaction is the best way to meet people. E-mail and social media can be time efficient, but there is no substitute for a good old-fashioned handshake and the exchange of conversation. You are able to see a person's body language which can tell you a lot about whether the person is interested in what you have to say or not. Meet new people at SCCCC's programs, events, and a variety of meetings. Visit the CHAMBER EVENT CALENDAR to view what's coming up.
