Working to support businesses in Albany and the Great Southern to grow a thriving business community

Since 1892, the Albany Chamber of Commerce & Industry has supported business in Albany and the Lower Great Southern by working to create a vibrant and diverse business economy that fosters growth, connectivity, strength and unity. We do this by listening to the businesses in our region, advocating for what matters most to our community as a unified voice, providing avenues for educational resources, and working towards the changes we as a community want to see. Getting together to network, connect and share ideas is important to us, which is why we work to generate a varying range of events which provide promotional and networking opportunities to for businesses to meet business leaders, community representatives, politicians, and fellow Albany CCI members. This all helps to work towards creating a strong regional business voice and economy.
