The Bedford County Chamber of Commerce would like to thank the following sponsors:
The growth of the Bedford County Chamber of Commerce
reflects both the growth of the Bedford County economy and the
enthusiasm and strength of its members. Nearly 30% of the 610 Chamber
members serve on volunteer committees.
As the county's most active small business development and support
group, it's the Chamber's many programs and services that prove key to
benefiting the Chamber and its members.
Because the Bedford County Chamber of Commerce is a service-oriented
organization, these programs are the lynchpin that holds the Chamber
members together. The chamber currently sponsors 18 committees that
handle issues on behalf of all Chamber members. These committees cover
the full range of membership interests and concerns, from transportation
and government affairs to networking and public relations.
When a firm is a member of the Chamber, all employees of that firm are
considered members. Any employee of member firms are invited to
participate on any Chamber committee.
