Howard County Chamber of Commerce
Howard County is centrally located between Washington, DC and Baltimore in a region that is now the fourth largest market in the United States. The Chamber serves as the premier advocate for business in the region, continuing a commitment to business success for 37 years. The growth of the Howard County Chamber of Commerce parallels that of the County. It is one of the largest Chambers of Commerce in the state of Maryland and is situated in an area where the number of prosperous businesses has increased exponentially in the past 30 years.
While the Chamber is principally located in the Chamber of Commerce Building at 5560 Sterrett Place in Columbia, Maryland (21044), we are dedicated to serving businesses virtually everywhere. We are available to callers via the phone and have a professional staff dedicated to customer service to assist with everything from finding a member business, to event registration, to relocation information - calls that number in the thousands each month.
The Internet instantly creates almost 780 satellite Chamber offices - right at each member location - and even more around the world. Chamber members can also find us in print - our directory is a great way to find goods and services. In fact, many members tell us that they use the Chamber Membership Directory and Buyers' Guide as they would the "yellow pages" consulting it first for any need they may have. We produce a newsletter that is mailed quarterly and send e-mail updates monthly in addition to periodic mail pieces all designed to keep members supplied with up to the minute information.
Finally, our commitment to connecting with our members in person - face to face - has never been stronger. In 2005-2006 over 4500 people attended events hosted at the Chamber and at 30 member business locations.
