Join the first ever B2B and Social Network for members of the Twin Falls Area Chamber of Commerce.

As long as commerce has existed, traders have banded together. In the beginning, perhaps it was for the purpose of seeking common protection against enemies and bands of robbers. Later, codes were established to govern the conduct of trade and later still, efforts were begun to exert influence on legislative matters.

The first “Chambers of Commerce” undertook the promotion of the sale of goods. They organized markets, made and enforced rules of trade, protected goods in transit and even operated their own trading floors.

Today there are nearly 4,000 organizations in the country.  Their mission is much the same as it was in the early years:  to support and protect the interests of business.

The Twin Falls Area Chamber of Commerce began as the “Twin Falls Commercial Club” in July 1905.  It continues to thrive as an action agency designed to meet community needs. More than 880 member businesses have come together voluntarily to advance the commercial, financial, industrial, and civic interests of the Twin Falls area.  The Chamber is the "Business Voice" of the community.

The Chamber is funded primarily by membership dues.  Additional support for programs and activities comes from annual fundraising, sponsorships, and grants.

The Chamber of Commerce is governed by a 13-member Board of Directors which is elected by the membership.  The Chamber also has a professional staff to assist with the work of the Chamber.  The Board is divided into three councils which oversee programs and activities of the organization.

The Chamber's success depends on active participation from the membership. Any Chamber members are encouraged to attend any committee meetings and to become involved in the activities and programs of the organization.
