What is a chamber?

A chamber of commerce is a network, a local organization of businesses whose goal is to further the interests of business.

The Coosa County Chamber of Commerce was established in September 2015 as an Alabama corporation. We are registered with the IRS as a 501(c)(6). We operate based on approved and recorded bylaws, and we are members of the Chamber of Commerce Association of Alabama (CCAA)

Chamber Board of Directors

Leadership for the Chamber is provided by a Board of Directors. There are nine director positions, seven of which also serves a functional role. The Board of Directors volunteer by dedicating time to help promote Coosa Chamber and its members. There is no paid staff, which helps us keep our overhead costs and member dues to a minimum.

The Chamber Board Members have over sixty years of combined business experience. The team meets monthly and works throughout the year to coordinate events, market the local area, and support local and potential industries in their effort to reach their growth goals.
