The Wadsworth Area Chamber of Commerce

Striving to Stimulate Economic Growth, by Providing a Voice for the Business Community of Our Membership

WELCOME TO OUR CHAMBER

All of us in our personal lives have a tool or two at home that we use only occasionally. We have it because of a need that arose at one time or another, and we invested in the tool to satisfy the need. Even it is never used again, it adds to our peace of mind to know that it is there when we need it again.

Your Wadsworth Area Chamber of Commerce, to an extent, is like that tool. Some may use it regularly, while others need it on an irregular basis. Isn’t it nice to know that it’s there if and when you need it? Your membership investment makes it possible for our Chamber to exist, however often and whenever you need it.

Your Wadsworth Area Chamber of Commerce is working hard to keep Wadsworth a vibrant business community, which offers the unique opportunity to enjoy a small community life, with access to a growing business base. We are always here to help you understand what your Chamber offers, and how to use your membership to the fullest advantage. We hope you will be a “regular user” of the Wadsworth Area Chamber of Commerce, and that your membership adds to the value of your business.
