Since 1918 the Crawfordsville/Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce has worked to make this community a better place in which to live and conduct business.

For nearly 89 years our overriding goal has been to make this community a better place to live and conduct business. In order to make this goal a reality we recognize it is sometimes necessary to address tough issues, however the Chamber remains resolute in its determination to create a better tomorrow for our community.

In the recent past, the Chamber has strengthened its committees and is actively increasing its visibility and presence in the community. Legislative awareness has increased to include city, county and state activities. Seminars from marketing to human resources have been undertaken and more are on the horizon.

Our new corporate sponsorship program along with our Chamber Buck$ gift certificate program have exceeded our expectations and has provided the community with measurable evidence of the success of the Chamber.
