About Us:

The Chamber operates to support local businesses and improve the quality of life for citizens in Oxford and Lafayette County. This may be through seminars, focused events, leadership programs, or other means.  Dues for a business membership have gone up from $26 per year to a base of $180 per year.  A strong economy is at our basic business, same as it was in 1940. Today, the Chamber uses the internet and interactive CD’s to tell our story, as well as dispersing information instantaneously through a website and via email.

The Chamber has grown from a small group of businesses to over 550 members. The staff has grown from a volunteer president in his office to a staff of 5 people who respond to thousands of annual inquiries in the form of phone calls, walk-ins, letters, and emails.

Mission:

Our mission is to undertake those programs and projects which improve the quality of life for our area. By seeking a positive business climate conducive to growth of our private enterprise system, raising per capita income and providing strong financial, physical and human resources, we create a better life for all of our citizens.
