A membership organization, the Charleston Metro Chamber of Commerce was established in 1773. Since that time, the Chamber has been the voice of the business community. The Charleston Chamber has been extremely active in the Charleston region. From originating and supporting a proposal to construct a railroad to successfully arguing for a tax supported free public school system, the Chamber has been an integral part of the Charleston community since its inception. Through various programs and councils, the Chamber continues to move our region forward in every facet of the community: workforce, growth, public policy and regionalism.
