From the Chairperson
 Welcome to the Branford Chamber of Commerce website! We are an organization of for profit and not for profit entities that come together to further our professional, personal and collective development. We are all seeking to grow in ways that positively impact our families and the Branford community at large. This is accomplished through a Chamber organization directed, run and worked by an enthusiastic group of people from all walks of Branford business life – professional business services, retailers, restaurants, healthcare, manufacturers, charitable and civic organizations and consumer service providers. We, with the help of our efficient administrative staff, put on events and programs throughout the year that:
- Provide networking and relationship building opportunities
- Offer ways that member organizations can market their businesses
- Offer professional & personal education
- Create forums to interact with and speak to legislators
Our strength comes from the diversity of our member’s experiences and their considerable knowledge. One of the invaluable benefits to each of us is having the opportunity to tap into that tremendous resource. Believe me, properly used; the Branford Chamber of Commerce is a business education and marketing engine that provides an incredible return to its members. So if you are not a member already – contact us today! Test drive us - come sample our programs and events. We look forward to meeting you and telling you more about the benefits the Branford Chamber of Commerce offers …
