Why become a Chamber Partner?
Your Chamber of Commerce is your salesperson, your voice and watchdog representing your interest in the political arena, promoting your interests by bringing visitors to our area, welcoming them and encouraging them to return, and providing you the opportunity to network and advertise your business. Support your Chamber of Commerce through partnership and participation in the activities. We invite you to join one of our committees or task forces. It is important to all business and professional people, and others because it pays real dividends in the form of more business, better living conditions, and a more attractive and desirable community.
The Greater Palm Harbor Area Chamber of Commerce is dedicated to providing leadership to promote and support economic growth and prosperity while enhancing the quality of life.
Palm Harbor is an unincorporated area, so for over twenty-five years the Chamber has coordinated many of the community-wide events one would normally see presented from their local government. With more than 400 partners in the region, the Greater Palm Harbor Area Chamber of Commerce continues to be one of the most powerful resources available to business owners.
The following opportunities are reserved exclusively for our partners:

Our partners also receive a listing in the business directory on our website. This listing includes the business name, address, phone number, email and website links.

The Chamber’s office serves as the Welcome Center for the entire Palm Harbor area. Countless residents and visitors come in each year seeking information and referrals.

In this area, the Chamber provides a display for our partners to place their business cards, brochures, and pamphlets.
