Who We Are

The Alvin-Manvel Area Chamber of Commerce is a volunteer partnership of businesses and professional people working together for the betterment of the community. The Chamber is supported through membership fees. Members are referred to as “investors,” because they are truly investing in their business and community.

One of the many purposes of the Alvin- Manvel Area Chamber of Commerce is to promote the community to help increase tourism and stimulate the economy. The Chamber has created activities and events which have become area traditions, and we continue to search for additional opportunities to promote the area.
