Message from the Executive Director

Kim Seng

PLEASE ALLOW ME TO personally welcome you to Wellington and to our Chamber of Commerce. We are a boutique chamber comprised of the best of the best professionals doing business in Wellington. 2020 was a banner year for our chamber! We attracted more members than ever, sponsorships grew, committees expanded, and our events sold out in days! We had to change the way we hosted events, but we took this challenge head on, hosting the very first FLAVORS Mobile Trolley event showcasing our restaurant and hospitality industry partners and establishments. People loved this concept so much we decided to take Flavors 2021 on the road again! WINTERFEST with Vanilla Ice is returning back to its original home on December 10 at the Wellington Amphitheater in partnership with the Village of Wellington. Our 5k race is returning in the early spring for walkers and runners of all ages!

We made a promise this past year to be a CONNECTOR of Leaders and Influencers, a CATALYST for Business Growth and a CHAMPION for a Stronger Community. Our success comes from the hard work from our board of directors, staff and volunteers.

Our Chamber is active in business and community endeavors, and our committees work tirelessly to uphold our mission as well as work closely with our members to provide relevant and up-to-the-minute training and information contributing to their success in our Village.

We have everything to offer right here in Wellington, from beautiful singlefamily homes and townhomes to majestic estates and equestrian farms. In addition, airplane enthusiasts can land their small planes on a private runway near their homes in our Aero Club community!

Wellington is an equestrian community and lays claim to outstanding equestrian programs, activities and events, and is known as the Winter Equestrian Capital, as well as the Polo Capital, of the World.

Our medical community is a thriving industry, and the Chamber boasts a full spectrum of medical facilities and professionals as well as the most highly regarded award-winning hospitals and medical facilities.

Education is a top priority for families moving to Wellington, and our schools have a reputation for their high level of excellence and “A” ratings. In addition, our parks and recreation facilities are state-of-the-art, outstanding venues providing activities for all ages through numerous parks and sports programs. Even as we grow, we continue to cultivate a hometown atmosphere.

So whether you are coming to visit or to live, we at the Chamber offer our sincerest welcome. Feel free to stop in and say hello! We hope you enjoy this informative Guide to Wellington, and we encourage you to patronize our Chamber members when you shop or do business in Wellington. Please stop by or give us a call for additional information, or you can visit us at www.wellingtonchamber.com. We care about the community and your business. We will promote your business to the very best of our expertise, and strive to maintain the integrity of the Wellington area now and for years to come.
