Community, Connection & Collaboration.

If you’ve been keeping an eye out on our blog the past few weeks, you might have noticed—we’re juggling quite a few projects.

It’s hard to believe that we’re already gearing up for another year of the National Civics Bee, or that Leadership NEK is just weeks away from kicking off! But how do initiatives like these, or our housing and manufacturing consortiums  connect? And given all this work, what is it exactly that our chamber is all about? 

The Northeast Kingdom Chamber of Commerce is here to be our region’s hub for economic vitality, community resilience, and leadership. Our goal is to support a thriving NEK where businesses can grow, talent can flourish, and communities can prosper.

This is a sizeable mission, and one that we can’t go at alone. Our strategy is to build a connected, sustainable, and prosperous economy by working across sectors—business, workforce, education, housing, and community development.

None of us can be expected to have a singular solution to everything. At the chamber, we recognize the wealth of expertise that exists in our region in folks who understand their own day-to-day needs both personally and professionally. This is exactly why we operate as a membership organization, open to all—businesses, nonprofits, and individuals—working to serve the hugely diverse needs of the region through programs, advocacy, and connections.

So whether you’ve found your way into the chamber to make use of our fuel savings, or to get your business listed on our local directory, we hope you stay with and engage with us as we work together to craft a Northeast Kingdom that works for us all.
