Description & Services

Information The Chamber of Commerce is a volunteer organization made of business and professional people sharing a common goal — the economic development of Amherst & Area. Small and large businesses from virtually every sector and profession form the membership. We serve the Amherst, Oxford and Sackville, N.B. areas. 
We also represent and promote the members of the organization. We identify community problems and issues affecting business and work collaboratively with our partners to solve these problems, accomplishing collectively what no business can do alone. 
The Amherst & Area Chamber of Commerce offers a wide variety of benefits to assist local businesses including cost saving discounts, networking opportunities, and opportunities for exposure. 
 
What is the role of the Amherst & Area Chamber of Commerce? 
1. To act as a spokesperson for members in order to promote the members’ interests to local, provincial and national political bodies and to the community at large. 
2. To provide an opportunity for members to develop better business connections within the community. 
3. To inform and educate business people and the community at large. 
4. To provide value added services to members. 
5. To provide a forum where members can have input into community affairs.
Eligibility Anyone who is employed by a member company is eligible to attend Chamber events at member discount prices. Our events are also open to the general public for a non-member rate.
Hours Drop-in hours: Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday from 1:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m. 
All other times by appointment.
