The Chamber of Gettysburg & Adams County is the primary resource for networking, information and education for Adams County businesses, and provides a strong, valuable voice on behalf of the business community. The chamber is the connection between the success of the business community and our region.

Membership.

Leadership.

We aspire to promote leadership in business by determining workplace issues in which the chamber can provide meaningful awareness and education for our members; surveying employer and employment skillsets needed; and by supporting or delivering ancillary leadership programs to member participants.

Entrepreneurship.

We provide unique value to our members and prospective members by creating an environment for the growth of new businesses through entrepreneurial endeavors. We support local Business Councils, and we also work with the Adams Economic Alliance to determine the Chamber’s appropriate role and establish efforts in the attraction of small business. Our goal is to make it easier and more streamlined to establish and operate a business in the area.
