Genoa AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

On behalf of the Genoa Area Chamber of Commerce, I would like to welcome you to our town. Genoa is an outstanding place to live, work, and grow a business. Whether you’re visiting for the day, looking for a new place to call home, or you’re already a resident of our thriving community, we guarantee you will love our community.

Genoa is a quaint little town with a big heart and plenty of opportunities.

It is a great time to be a member of the Genoa Area Chamber of Commerce. We are always looking to create new networking and promotional opportunities to help chamber businesses succeed and grow. As a member you can promote your business through our website, newsletter, networking opportunities, business referrals, continuing education or marketing at one of our many events.

We continue to partner with local government and other organizations to pursue improvements in the overall quality of life for the city, county, and region. Our success in achieving our mission and purpose is due to a collaborative effort from the Chamber Board of Directors, Chamber Ambassadors, City of Genoa, Chamber members, area professionals and community volunteers.

Our online business directory and Area Guide are two resources the Genoa Area Chamber of Commerce provides to the local community. We continue to encourage you to think local, shop local! By supporting the businesses in our directory, you are reinvesting in your community.

To our current Chamber members, thank you for your continued support. For those of you considering relocating your business or opening a new business in Genoa, you will find that becoming a Chamber member is of great value to you. Genoa is thriving, come grow with us!
