Austin Chamber Of Commerce - Blog: We Are Chamber Strong

Press release from the Austin Chamber of Commerce - Blog:

10/20/2021

In case you were unaware, today is support your local chamber of commerce day. And on this day, we wanted to celebrate the many ways we have been supporting the Austin business community since 1877. So, what exactly is it that we do?

We advocate for businesses at the local, state, and federal level

From securing funding for I-35 or advocating for child care during the pandemic - we’re busy working behind the scenes so you can focus on running your business

We gather and celebrate our business community

From fun networking events to the Greater Austin Business Awards, to ribbon-cutting celebrations, we love to shine the spotlight on our members in many ways.

We provide well researched business insights

Have questions about job growth and unemployment, the recent Census, or simply interested in where all the people moving to Austin are coming from? We’ve got your answers.

We help develop a diverse and robust Central Texas economy

A lot goes into our Opportunity Austin initiative, including bringing Tesla and 20,000+ other jobs in 2020 to the Austin area. It’s fair to say that it wouldn’t have happened without us.

We help foster local education and talent to build a strong pipeline of qualified talent

Whether you have volunteered to help high school seniors apply for the FAFSA at our financial aid events or you are a Chamber Talent Ambassador, you know that we help keep Austin working.
