The Greater Syracuse Chamber of Commerce is the largest business organization in Central New York. Although the Chamber began back in 1889 as a way to offer business assistance and development programs to local businesses, this is not the same Chamber that began so many years ago. Today, the Chamber is an icon in the Syracuse business community, leading the way in everything from government relations and lobbying to creating economic growth in our region. We are a driving force for economic vitality and high quality of life in the Central New York community. We are a broad-based association representing more than 2200 businesses of all sizes and from virtually every industry and profession in our area. Our members are business owners who realize that, through the Chamber, they can accomplish collectively what they cannot accomplish individually, while enhancing their credibility as a viable member of the business community.

Our Mission: To create an economic climate that enhances growth, prosperity and the quality of life for all who live and work in Greater Syracuse.
