About The Venice Chamber of Commerce:

The Venice Chamber of Commerce is a vital organization comprised of local business and community leaders. Our goals are to promote and support the local business community, to enhance the image of Venice, and to stimulate networking among members, resulting in growth opportunities for all. We believe that everyone in our community should have a voice in making Venice a better place to work and live.

Through monthly mixers, networking breakfasts, committee activities, and special events, we offer members the opportunity to connect and exchange ideas that contribute to strengthening the vitality of our local economy as well as their individual businesses. We maintain a close working relationship with our elected officials and their staffs to keep members up to date on relevant information, and collaborate with surrounding area Chambers to promote regional business growth.

Venice is proud of its heritage, its diverse population, its strong sense of community, and its variety of business and professional opportunities. Venice not only offers an eclectic mix of retail, restaurants, art galleries, personal services, and events, but is also one of the most popular tourist destinations in the U.S.

The Venice Chamber is committed to being a strong voice for the people and business community that we serve.  For more info or to be a member, visit www.VeniceChamber.net!
