History

The West Virginia Chamber is celebrating its 80th year as the voice of business in West Virginia.

The Chamber plays a major role in key issues facing the state including education, economic development, and workforce preparedness. The West Virginia Chamber is built on the belief that the business community must be a positive force for enhancing the quality of life in the State. The Chamber is a proactive leader in solutions to problems, effective business approaches, and progressive thinking to statewide events.  Chamber members are found throughout West Virginia and employ over half of our state’s workforce.

The West Virginia Chamber promotes the business viewpoint in the shaping of public policy.  This is accomplished by encouraging ethical business practices and ensuring the state’s future as economically prosperous, educationally competitive, and environmentally responsible.

 

 


"Every day, the West Virginia Chamber of Commerce works to make West Virginia a better place to do business by giving private-sector employers a voice in state politics and protecting business interests before regulatory bodies, the Legislature, and the courts."
