Description

Specialties

The McDowell Chamber of Commerce is a non-​profit membership based organization that provides services to its members which support economic growth and encourages community involvement. The chamber also operates a visitor center facility one mile from downtown that offers excellent access for newcomers, visitors and prospective businesses.

History

Established in 1957.

The McDowell Chamber was founded in 1957 in the belief that businesses working together on common goals will achieve more than any one business alone. Since 86 percent of our members have fewer than 20 employees, the Chamber is especially dedicated to building alliances within the small business community. The Chamber also is a partner with local and state governments in fostering a favorable economic climate in the McDowell County area.

Meet the Manager

Steve B.

Manager

Before becoming the Executive Director at the Chamber, I was previously employed with the NC Department of Commerce Division of Workforce Solutions, where I was a Veteran’s Employment Consultant. Prior to working for the state of North Carolina I was enlisted in the United States Army for 22 years. Being a Veteran myself, I am very passionate about our heroes and supporting their needs.
