2022 PRESCOTT CHAMBER CONNECT
WELCOME TO THE PRESCOTT CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
T
he Prescott Chamber of Commerce was founded in 1910. Soon after, it took on the name of the Yavapai County Chamber of Commerce, but eventually regained its former identity as the Prescott Chamber and has stayed that way ever since. Today, the Chamber is active and providing leadership in many community events, while maintaining its interest in helping businesses succeed. With over 1,000 Chamber members strong and growing, the Prescott Chamber is ranked No. 9 in the state. The Chamber is a significant asset to the community, offering a wealth of programs and events for the entire community to enjoy and appreciate. The Chamber also runs a comprehensive state designated Visitor Information Center with information about Prescott and the surrounding communities. Over 30,000 come through our front doors annually looking for information about the area, Chamber members and information about other cities around the state.
Thank you for your interest in the Prescott Chamber of Commerce, we are here to serve you. Please feel free to contact us or stop by anytime in “Everybody’s Hometown.”
VISION STATEMENT The vision of the Prescott Chamber of Commerce is to be the premier advocate for businesses, economic development and tourism in Prescott.
MISSION STATEMENT The mission of the Prescott Chamber of Commerce is to provide leadership and resources to create a vibrant business environment for Prescott.

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR Greetings Members, As we all know, the last two years have been full of challenges, “unprecedented times,” with the establishment of “new normals”. We are proud to say that during this time the Prescott Chamber of Commerce has taken the lead; adapted, grown, and found new and innovative ways to continue to serve our members. Additionally, your Chamber has been unwavering in their support of Prescott area businesses, from offering access and information about CARES funding, to providing resources and support for businesses struggling to hire or make ends meet. The Prescott Chamber of Commerce recognizes that business never stopped and neither did we! Our Prescott community is rich in history and heritage and continues to be a great place for businesses to grow and for families to thrive in Everybody’s Hometown. As your 2022 Chair of the Prescott Chamber of Commerce, I am committed to continuing to provide support toward the events and networking opportunities we all look forward to every year. My personal favorite is the tradition of the courthouse
lighting in Arizona’s Christmas City! This time-honored tradition highlights Prescott as the special and unique city that we are. Through partnerships and collaborations across the Prescott business community, we have continued to upgrade the holiday displays every year and maintain the magic of the event. This is just one example of why Prescott is a great place to do business and I know we can continue to grow together while also maintaining our unique culture and rich history. Our goal this year is to build on new innovations experienced over the last 2 years and to come back even better by coming back together! I am optimistic that 2022 will be our best year yet and look forward to collaborating with you to help us create power through partnerships!
