Join the Chamber
Why Join the Chamber of Commerce?
Get Connected
The Chamber represents business in Darke County and hosts numerous events every year. We hold small, focused committee meetings and annual signature events such as Groundhog Day Luncheon - Economic Forecast, Chamber Ag Day, Legislative Luncheon, Golf Outing, and the Chamber Annual Meeting. All of these events provide a unique opportunity to network with some of the area’s most successful business owners and executives.
Expand your circle of contacts even further by getting involved with committees such as the Agriculture Committee, Chamber Ambassadors,
or the Legislative Committee. Business educational opportunities exist in the Darke County Human Resources Council and Safety Council
Boost your brand presence by taking advantage of sponsorship and advertising opportunities at Chamber events or in our regular publications.
Get Your Voice Heard
As a winner of the Ohio Chamber’s Best Advocacy Campaign Award, the Darke County Chamber is your voice for legislative issues. The Legislative Committee works diligently to promote the local, state, and federal legislative interests and champions a business-friendly climate. The Chamber’s involvement in statewide legislative issues has elevated this committee’s presence not only in Darke County, but in Columbus where our opinions are heard.
Get Your Customers’ Attention
The Chamber’s online presence through our website and social media generates referrals for its members and is one of the leading business resources in the county.
In addition, we publish an annual Membership Directory and Resource Guide. Last year copies of the Membership Directory and Resource Guide were distributed throughout Darke County and beyond, not only to Chamber members, but to new business prospects, new residents, business employees and visitors to our community.
Perfect for small businesses looking to grow, connect, and build their presence in the local community. Gain access to essential networking opportunities, business resources, and promotional tools to help your company thrive.
