Chamber Information

The chamber has two goals:

To promote Dearborn, and
To help our members succeed

Promote Dearborn

Hotels, tourist attractions, stores, shopping districts and restaurants benefit from the chamber's initiatives to attract tourists to Dearborn.  Tools include the website, visitor information packets, dining guide and the annual Taste of Dearborn.

Real estate businesses, builders, stores, doctors and banks benefit from the relocation information packets we send on request and distribute through Ford Motor Company's and other major corporation's relocation department.  

The bi-weekly Dearborn Now e-newsletter, targeting daytime population as well as local residents, serves all these industry sectors, with restaurant reviews, shopping features, coupons, local news and lifestyle links.

Help our members succeed

Members learn from each other and find prospective customers at morning and evening networking events

We recognize the best business practices at our annual Business Recognition Award luncheon and in the monthly section of the Dearborn Press and Guide - "Chamber Check."

Members can use chamber media to advertise their products and services to highly qualified consumer and business prospects

Because government decisions inevitably affect businesses, we cultivate a relationship with elected officials and public agencies at all levels. When the Dearborn Chamber speaks, it speaks not as a single voice, but with the 600-plus voices of our members.

In all that we do, the chamber is guided by six core strategies outlined through a strategic planning process:

Core Strategy #1
Member Development

Provide members with opportunities and resources to meet and network with other businesses, thereby enhancing financial growth and professional development.

Core Strategy #2
Community Promotion

Showcase Dearborn community as a great place to live, work and play in an effort to promote and increase local business.

Core Strategy #3
Economic Development

Develop initiatives that recruit new businesses, industries and employment options to Dearborn capturing spending and creating an economic impact.

Core Strategy #4
Travel & Tourism

Promote cultural venues, attractions, and events to potential visitors to generate revenue into Dearborn via hotel, dining and retail spending.  Fulfill visitor and tourist requests through referrals and utilize resources provided by tourism destinations and other member businesses.

Core Strategy #5
Education

Recognize and foster all available educational resources from elementary to university. Cultivate learning and mentoring opportunities between the student population and local business.

Core Strategy #6
Government Affairs/Advocacy

Advocate on behalf of member companies with units of government at the local, regional and state level. Serve as a source of information regarding legislative policy and issues impacting the business community.
