Chamber President

St. Stephen – A Community On The Move

The St. Stephen Area Chamber of Commerce continues to grow in

membership, as well as, optimism for the future of our business community.

During 2018, our Chamber also reached an important milestone on our journey to become the best we can be for all our members, by completing a two-year Strategic Plan that highlights the following three key priority areas of focus: Advocacy, Education and Relational Connections and Communications. The Chamber Executive and Directors with others, will be working diligently over the next two years in an effort to advance these strategic priorities.

We are especially pleased with the level of member participation and engagement we have experienced at the various Chamber activities and events over the past year. This is a testament to the interest and commitment to the collective work of our local Chamber.

This 2019 Business Directory is intended to be a community resource that features businesses and other organizations that are members of the St. Stephen Area Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber is a non-profit volunteer-led organization with a purpose to support area businesses and partners with other organizations in an effort to make the St. Stephen area a vibrant business community and a great place to live and to work.

I would like to thank all those who contributed to the successful completion of this, the 2019 Business Directory with the hope and expectation that it will support our Chamber members by improving public awareness about the benefits of supporting local business, as a first option.

Terry Dempsey

President, St. Stephen Area Chamber of Commerce
