ABOUT OUR Chamber of Commerce ©Michael Galvin The Nantucket Island Chamber of Commerce was founded in 1934 and incorporated in 1954. It is the primary organization dedicated to promoting the interests of the island business community. With business, nonprofit, and individual members, the Chamber is also concerned with the ongoing viability and vitality of the historical, cultural, civic, environmental and recreational features that position Nantucket as a premier destination for visitors and provides a special way of life for its residents. To that end, the Nantucket Island Chamber of Commerce embraces its mission statement: To foster Nantucket’s economic vitality, while respecting the island’s unique quality of life, to the benefit of our membership and community. The Chamber office is located in the heart of historic downtown Nantucket – upstairs at Zero Main Street – where our staff is available to assist with visitor inquiries.
