One of the most rewarding aspects of serving as the regional chamber for all the Northeast Kingdom is the numerous opportunities for community engagement. 

“The Northeast Kingdom Chamber of Commerce is dedicated to empowering local businesses and enhancing the economic vitality of our region. We strive to foster a vibrant community by providing resources, advocacy, and opportunities for collaboration while promoting the unique culture and natural beauty of the Northeast Kingdom. Together, we build a thriving economy that benefits all residents and visitors.”

- Northeast Kingdom Chamber of Commerce, Mission Statement

While our mission is to empower local businesses and to enhance the economic vitality of the region, we understand that success can only come through collaboration. It comes when community members, business owners, and local leaders have equal opportunities for input and participation. 

Our monthly Legislative Breakfast is a living representation of this mission at work, and this most recent session was no exception.

On Monday, February 23rd, we held our second Legislative breakfast of the season. State representatives spoke to specific bills and outcomes being pursued this legislative session and answered questions from the audience on education, affordability, data centers, and more. 

We are incredibly fortunate in Vermont to have such strong local ties to our legislature and representatives who are willing and able to make time to hear directly from the community. We are equally fortunate to have a community so willing and able to come out and engage in respectful, thoughtful dialogue with these representatives. When we come together to listen, learn, and share, we initiate real change. 

Our Legislative Breakfast will return Monday, March 30th, 8:00 AM at the St. Johnsbury Athenaeum. We hope you’ll join us! Until then, we have even more ways to come together as a community. 

Our monthly Coffee and Connections series is the perfect way to warm up to your day with fresh coffee and casual conversation on some of the Northeast Kingdom's hottest topics.

Join us Wednesday, March 4th from 7:30 - 8:30 AM when we'll be joined by the Caledonian Record in a conversation on centered on seeing local businesses thrive in an ever changing technological landscape.

Free to attend. All are welcome—members, non-members, and coffee lovers alike. We hope to see you there!
