The Chamber of Commerce is the

business community working together. It is the central agency that corrals the forces of the community for its improvement and development: in business, in industry and in the professions. The Chamber is Ashland’s only business organization working full time, looking at and attending to many details of making the area an even better place to live and earn a living. The chamber answers hundreds of inquiries a year relative to every imaginable question concerning the city and surrounding area.
