Our Mission
BUSINESS SUPPORT
It doesn't matter what your industry is or what business you are in--support is key. The Paradise Ridge Chamber of Commerce partners with regional economic workforce organizations to foster your success: SCORE, SBA, 3Core, AFWD, and more. We also offer tailored support with the many issues big and small that affect your business.
ADVOCACY
The Paradise Ridge Chamber of Commerce understands the importance of a unified partnership in addressing business issues that affect our diverse membership. We are dedicated to identifying issues that matter to our members so we can effectively advocate for local business interests at the local, state, and federal levels.
DRIVING BUSINESS YOUR WAY
Business referrals arrive in a variety of ways. Our visitor center, website, telephone, emails and social media platforms are inundated with requests for information. Aside from our comprehensive publications, we provide that information out of our business directory, and calendar. As the community hub for activity announcements, our calendar shares upcoming events that benefit your organization to a public that wants to know. Visibility within the community, and to those visiting our mountain home, is essential to a successful business. Networking? Check out our events calendar and join us at our next ribbon cutting or mixer!
