The Chamber, through its deep roots, originating as the Saint John Board of Trade, still maintains its legacy as one of the country's first established business associations, serving as the voice of business for the Saint John Community since 1819. With the 200th anniversary fast approaching, we see tremendous opportunity to celebrate our expanded network and continue to provide value to our members and community leaders locally, regionally and nationally. Members of The Chamber are part of something special. We form a dedicated network of over 1000 Saint John area businesses representing over 30,000 professionals and dedicated volunteers who are fully vested in the long term growth and development of the region. The Chamber is a nationally accredited business organization with distinction. We are dedicated to fostering an economic climate that enhances growth, prosperity and an improved quality of life in the community. Our members represent small, medium and large businesses and organizations from across the region. We are a dynamic advocate and the principal voice for the Saint John region's business community. We also offer a variety of programs, activities, services and networking opportunities designed to enhance the business prospects of members and the overall business climate of the area.
