ABOUT US
WHO WE ARE:
The Greater Derry Londonderry Chamber of Commerce is a dynamic partnership of local businesses and professional leaders committed to strengthening our regional economy and enhancing the quality of life throughout our community. Our members—representing a wide range of industries, professions, nonprofits, and local businesses—collectively invest in the Chamber because they share a commitment to building a stronger local economy and a better community for all.
WHAT COMMUNITIES WE SERVE:
We are a regional Chamber of Commerce, with our primary focus on representing the New Hampshire communities of: Atkinson, Auburn, Chester, Derry, Hampstead, Londonderry, Sandown, and Windham.
WHERE WE ARE LOCATED:
The Greater Derry Londonderry Chamber office is located in the Adams Memorial Building (Derry Opera House) in downtown Derry at 29 West Broadway, Derry, NH 03038.
HOW ARE WE FUNDED?
The Chamber is a 501(c)(6) nonprofit business organization dedicated to promoting, supporting, and advancing local businesses. Like any organization, the Chamber incurs operational expenses. These costs are supported through membership dues, event fees, and sponsorship investments. As a 501(c)(6) nonprofit, Chamber membership dues are not a charitable contribution but can often be deducted as a business expense.
Every Chamber is unique, reflecting the character, needs, and strengths of the businesses and communities it serves!
AT OUR CORE
While the Chamber is committed to strengthening our local communities, our primary focus remains on supporting local business and industry. Through membership, businesses gain access to valuable opportunities designed to foster growth and long-term success.
At the core (shout out to the area's rich history of apple orchards) of our various programs and forward-thinking initiatives, is a commitment to empowering businesses by providing:
Visibility – Increase brand awareness and connect with the community.
Education – Access workshops, resources, and professional development opportunities.
Networking – Build meaningful relationships with fellow business leaders.
Advocacy – Ensure your voice is represented on key business and policy issues.
