Opportunity is knocking at the
New Area Chamber of Commerce!
New Bern, NC, a true "Southern Surprise," offers both visitors and residents the charm and warm hospitality of small town life at its best combined with easily available modern conveniences and amenities. Located 30 miles inland from the Atlantic Ocean at the confluence of two majestic rivers, New Bern has it all: a mild four-season climate, unlimited recreational opportunities, a state-of-the-art regional medical facility, award-winning schools, a myriad of cultural and social activities, affordable cost of living, and a thriving and prosperous business community.
The New Bern Area Chamber of Commerce has been serving the New Bern area for more than 110 years. We strive to partner with local businesses, government, and education to support a favorable economic environment in the New Bern Area, Eastern North Carolina's premier destination for life, work, and play. The Chamber represents over 800 members who depend on the Chamber for member services including networking events, community and business development, ribbon cuttings, growth opportunity reports, economic data gathering, business referrals, business seminars, relocation packets, and being an advocate with governmental and regulatory bodies. These are but a few of the services we provide our members.
The Chamber’s objective in 2010 is to provide a platform from which our members can enhance their business or organization through networking and programs designed to improve their bottom-line and to make available the tools necessary to excel as the economy improves. Our mandate is to pursue opportunities in the areas of retail development and education, as well as continuing our support of the efforts of the Marines and Sailors at MCAS Cherry Point. We will work diligently to ensure that our local economy is strong and vibrant.
To our members: Your membership in the New Bern Area Chamber of Commerce is an investment in our community. Thank you for your faith in the volunteer leadership and staff of the Chamber, and your commitment to our community. And remember, any community worth living in is worth supporting.
