Welcome to the Salem Area
Chamber of Commerce

The tools of doing business seem to change at the speed of light.  Extraordinary technological innovation in office machines, manufacturing, transportation and communications are announced almost daily. 

But the face of business has not changed.  You, your clients and customers, and your employees are still the most valuable components of operating your business. 

Face-to-face contact with your business associates and customers, networking with peers, developing relationships, and supporting those with whom you do business is what doing business is all about... whether you employ five, or five hundred. 

Your Salem Area Chamber of Commerce is right here beside you... offering business advocacy in the political arena; putting your business out in front of the public through networking opportunities, special events, on the web, and in print; and presenting educational opportunities to help you grow a successful business. 

I invite you to use this web site as your #1 tool for doing business in the Salem area.  Besides offering information and resources about the Chamber and your community, you know that you can do business with the members listed in our online directory. 

I also encourage you to be aware of all the good works your fellow chamber member businesses are up to. You'll find Chamber members sponsoring community events, supporting historic attractions and the arts, and funding youth and family activities. The Chamber member business community is leading the way to a promising future. 

Our mission is to serve as your business and community advocate and work to keep Salem a great place where business can prosper and families can live, work, play and shop.
