North Central Massachusetts Chamber of Commerce The North Central Massachusetts Chamber of Commerce is a nationally recognized and 5-star accredited business advocacy, economic development organization
(1)

The origins of the North Central Massachusetts Chamber of Commerce can be traced back to the 1900s with the formation of chambers of commerce in Leominster and Fitchburg. In 1984, the boards of directors of both organizations, along with several smaller business groups, voted to regionalize and merged to form the North Central Massachusetts Chamber of Commerce. The chamber has evolved into the region’s leading economic development and business advocacy organization. The North Central Massachusetts Chamber of Commerce is a business advocacy, economic development organization working to create and sustain relationships among businesses and between businesses and the community. Everything the North Central Massachusetts Chamber does is to create an environment where businesses can grow and be successful. A thriving business community means a thriving economy, and a thriving economy means a thriving community. The Chamber supports its members by providing a number of services including networking opportunities, professional development, legislative advocacy, marketing exposure, access to business resources, economic development, community betterment, cost-savings, and access to health and dental insurance for small businesses. The North Central Massachusetts Chamber is uniquely positioned and qualified to be the community catalyst organization that uses the collective voice of the business community to provide influence and leadership to foster a thriving business environment in North Central Massachusetts. The Chamber has built an organizational structure that leverages the synergies and resources of its affiliated partners — the North Central Massachusetts Development Corporation, the Johnny Appleseed Trail Association, the North Central Chamber Foundation, the Community Leadership Institute, and the Young Professionals of North Central Massachusetts – to truly define the Chamber as the lead business and economic development organization in the region.

Latino entrepreneurs are a fast-growing force in North Central Massachusetts' economy, and the Associated Press took notice.

Our LIDER initiative was included in a recent AP story on organizations across the country supporting Latino-owned businesses. We're proud to be featured alongside Mission Lotería in San Francisco and Amor Collective in Phoenix.

LIDER launched this summer to connect Latino-run businesses across our 25+ communities with the networks, education and resources (some in Spanish) that help businesses thrive. When more businesses in our region start and grow, the whole region benefits. That's our mission.

Earlier this month, the Chamber was proud to be on hand as The Fitchburg Housing Authority celebrated a $30 million transformation of Wallace Tower into an aging-in-place community for local seniors, joining residents, city officials, and community leaders for the occasion.

The day featured two dedications. The new intergenerational park was named for First Lt. Isabel Demmon, a Fitchburg native and Army Nurse Corps veteran who cared for wounded servicemen in India during WWII, and Mayor Sam Squailia proclaimed October 14 as Isabel Demmon Day in Fitchburg. The renovated first-floor community room was dedicated as the Cunningham Community Room, honoring Bucky and Marc Cunningham, father-and-son foremen whose service to FHA spans more than 40 years.

Congratulations to Executive Director Douglas Bushman and the FHA team, and to everyone who helped make this possible, including the state’s Massachusetts Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities, the City of Fitchburg, Unitil and the Montachusett Community Branch YMCA. It’s a great example of what this community can accomplish when it works together.
