The Chamber is a membership funded organization and is independent of all other organizations and groups. The Chamber is effective because motivated and dedicated volunteers work for the mutual benefit of the total community. The Defiance Area Chamber of Commerce touches virtually every aspect of community life and provides assistance through data research, organization, administration and leadership. The Chamber program of work involves economic development, small business assistance, legislative affairs, tourism, long range planning, industrial safety council, beautification, business alert, community image, and more. The Defiance Area Chamber of Commerce is a resource center providing complete information for visitors, newcomers, business prospects and clients, and provides current demographic information about the area, its assets and benefits. The Chamber has played a key role in the formation of Defiance County Office of Economic Development and Defiance Development & Visitors Bureau and works closely with these organizations for the planned development of our community. Looking to the future, the Chamber is playing a large role in the development of future leaders in our community, working with local educators to provide a quality work force, and is providing a strong voice in legislative matters.
