Welcome to the
Emporia Area Chamber of Commerce
Congratulations! Welcome!! Thank you!!!
Your membership in the Emporia Area Chamber of Commerce is an investment in
the Emporia area. Since the 1890’s the Chamber of Commerce has been the center
point for business, retail, industry, education, tourism, leadership and much more.
We take pride in the leaders of the Emporia area who obtained and developed their
leadership abilities in their participation and membership in the Emporia Area
Chamber of Commerce.
What a great time to be a part of the Emporia area. The unemployment rate is very
favorable, Emporia’s industries are having off the chart success and continue to reinvest
in their plants here. Our education community is functioning at levels never seen. A
new ESU President, FHTC with expansions, a positive enrollment and quality K-12
education. I encourage you to review their 2015 Annual Collaborate report. New
residential development has begun and additional is planned for the near future.
Retail development and growth is fantastic with new businesses downtown, a planned
retail enhancement for the Flinthills Mall, and plans for a new retail development.
We continue to develop leaders with our programs, committees, and Leadership
Emporia classes. Watch us grow! Get involved and help us grow. If you’ve never been
to our offices or it’s been awhile, it’s time that you stopped by to learn more about us!
For over 119 years . . . The Emporia Area Chamber of Commerce. . . Continuing a
strong tradition, the crossroads for all things in the Emporia area.
