What is The Bronx Chamber of Commerce?

The Chamber of Commerce is the voice of business in The Bronx, aggressively promoting measures and issues that are in the interests of doing business in the city and working against anything impairing or threatening the vitality of The Bronx businesses.

At every turn, the Chamber advocates and initiates programs designed to enhance the image of The Bronx and stimulate the marketing of  Bronx-based products and services. The Chamber actively "partners" with various government entities and business organizations to form a powerful network extending into every segment of business society.
