Your Chamber Working For You!

Chamber Update: We are settling into our new space at 33 Main Street and have enjoyed greeting many visitors early in the season. Our success and growth at the Chamber comes from the support of our member businesses and organizations. We promote our members, our towns and neighborhoods, farms and food, arts, shops and manufacturing, and our amazing waterfront and activities. There's a reason why people love to live, work and play here and it is our delight to be a part of it all.

Our Vision is that the Belfast Area Chamber of Commerce will be recognized as a major catalyst for developing a thriving and connected business community and visitor destination of choice in the region. Our Mission is to champion a thriving business environment for our members through promotion, networking, advocacy, community partnerships and access to relevant information. With 450 members in Belfast, Waldo County, and beyond, and over 1,600 people on our weekly newsletter list, we thank you for your continued support and are excited about what's to come! Our 2024 Chamber Magazine will be available mid-May!
