Starting Locally, Thinking Regionally

We're always looking for new ways to support our members and advocate for the region. To the benefit of each of these goals comes the exciting news that the Northeast Kingdom Chamber of Commerce has officially stepped in to the role of managing northeastkingdom.com.

We are grateful for the Northern Forest Center, for the work they’ve put into the campaign over the past several years, and for their support throughout this transition.

“We convened the original partners and raised the funds to create a collaborative marketing effort, with the intention that an NEK-based organization would eventually take the reins,” said Center Vice President Joe Short.

We are proud to take those reins.

Since stepping into this role last month, we’ve already been able to make improvements to the services we offer our members. To help businesses and organizers best reach their audience, we've split our calendar duty up. Using the same, simple submission form as before, we'll make sure your events get where they need to for the greatest impact.

NEKChamber.com/events will continue to host all things business-- workshops, networking events, etc... while NortheastKingdom.com/event-calendar will host all things arts, culture, and of broader regional interest.

We encourage you to share your events with us early and often so we can do our best to help you spread the word.

Managing regional marketing for the NEK will be no easy task. We are looking forward to ongoing opportunities to collaborate with chamber members and regional partners to represent the region in a way that works for locals and visitors alike.

Your feedback is crucial to the success of this and future campaigns. We’ve already begun to work with municipalities and town chambers throughout the NEK to coordinate efforts moving forward. We welcome community feedback and invite your support in ensuring our messaging is truly representative of this beautiful place we are so blessed to call home.
