The Franklin Area Chamber of Commerce has been representing the interests of the local business community since 1913.  It is our mission to provide leadership for the business community by providing economic, educational, and legislative information and assistance which can be used by members to achieve profit, progress, and prosperity.  Click on ``Member Business Directory" above to view our member business listings.

Our members know that, by working together, we can play a leading role in improving the local business climate, recruiting and retaining business and industry, attracting visitors to the area, and using our combined influence for legislation that supports all of these goals.

The Franklin Area Chamber of Commerce is a voluntary organization of the business community.  It is not a civic club, charitable organization, or department of city government.  The Chamber is a private, non-profit tax-paying corporation.  It unites hundreds of business and professional firms, thus creating a unique central agency working to improve business and build a better community.  Over 80% of the membership is composed of small businesses interested in prospering and creating a healthy environment in which to conduct business.

But most important, the Chamber is people who realize that through the Chamber they can accomplish collectively what no one of us can do individually.  The strength of the Chamber lies in attracting the greatest number of members, creating a pool of resources from which can be drawn ideas, energy, and finances.
