BG Area Chamber of Commerce

The Bowling Green Area Chamber of Commerce is the fourth largest chamber in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, with more than 1,300 partners who represent more than 36,000 employees. We're also proud to be one of only three chambers in the Commonwealth to be accredited by the United States Chamber of Commerce - a designation that only 335 other chambers in the nation can claim.

In December 2007, the Chamber Board of Directors formally approved the newly revised mission statement, further defining the Chamber's role in South Central Kentucky. The new mission of the Chamber is:

We provide valuable services to our partners, advocate a positive business environment and stimulate economic development for South Central Kentucky.

The Chamber has been recruiting businesses to the area since 1935 and will continue to make Bowling Green a hub of business in the global market. Strong evidence of this comes from the new multi-million dollar Chamber building, located at 710 College Street, which staff and partners are confident will make a lasting impression on industries that are considering a move to the region. The Chamber dedicated this new 17,460-square-foot, state-of-the-art headquarters on June 6, 2007, a celebration in which partners and the community participated. Nearly 200 Chamber partners committed to contributing more than $3 million to our Capital Campaign, allowing us to remain on-schedule to pay off the building in less than five years.
