Welcome to Greenwood,

Working to Bring You a Better Tomorrow Today

Our Story

Our story began like many Chambers’ — with a group of businessmen getting together with a desire to make a difference for businesses and the town. In 2002, the first meeting was held with about 10 businesses being represented. In a short period of time, the number increased to 40 businesses and individuals. The group applied for membership in the United States Chamber of Commerce on April 16, 2007 and became the Greenwood Chamber of Commerce, a 501(c)(6) organization. We now average 70 members.

We are proud to represent the citizens of Greenwood and strive to become the catalyst through which business, individuals and organizations work together for the common good of the community. The Chamber follows the town’s business development proposal while keeping in tact our small town atmosphere. An important aspect of the Chamber is to assist the town in creating a business climate that appeals to the present businesses and will bring in the kind of new businesses that fit our environment while maintaining the tax base and enhancing growth.

What is GCC?

The Chamber is an action agency designed to meet community or area needs. It is a voluntary organization of individuals and businesses who band together to advance the commercial, financial, industrial and civic interests of a community or area. Among other things it is a civic clearinghouse, a public relations counselor, a legislative representative at the local, state and national levels of government, an information bureau and a research and promotion medium.

Mission Statement

The Greenwood Chamber of Commerce (GCC) was organized for business owners and managers in the Greenwood area to promote organized development. GCC is dedicated to assisting local government and it’s agencies in the promotion of economic, social and community well being. GCC is involved in the community. GCC will organize and promote events and activities to distinguish Greenwood as a unique, desirable area to live and conduct business. GCC is designed to allow every member an opportunity to share their concerns about the area and to assist in implementing a plan of action that will produce results and promote the area.

Action groups — which are called standing committees — are the backbone of the Chamber. They are the units that accomplish the organization’s goals and objectives. The needs of the community and policies of the Chamber determine the kinds and number of these action groups.

Any firm or individual sharing a common interest in community improvement is eligible for membership. Eligibility requirements are spelled out in the organization’s bylaws. Fees, subscription rates or dues are usually determined by the Board of Directors based on budgetary needs.

Financed on an annual dues basis, the organization’s expenses are apportioned among its members consisting of firms and individuals. Chamber membership is an investment in the present and future of the firm’s, individual’s and the community’s welfare.

The organization is run by a Board of Directors, elected by Chamber members. The Board, serving without pay, sets the policies of the organization.
