The Chamber maintains contact with local, regional and state offices to benefit member businesses. We are members and/or affiliated with Virginia State Chamber of Commerce, Northern Neck Regional Chamber of Commerce, Colonial Beach Tourism, Northern Neck Tourism, and the Virginia Tourism Corporation. We also provide representation to the Colonial Beach Town Council on business-related issues. In preparation for the Annual Awards Celebration and Dinner each spring, members vote on the Business of the Year and Business Person of the Year recipients. The annual Holiday Dinner is held in December. Chamber happenings are discussed and the Board of Directors is elected. Your voice is heard at the Colonial Beach Chamber of Commerce.

Member networking events, trainings/seminars, the “Chamber Chat” newsletters, 2nd Friday Art Walks, the “Welcome Bag” initiative, dissemination of local, state and Federal information related to Virginia businesses, volunteer/member networking, wi-fi accessible Chamber building, updated web page, Ribbon-Cutting ceremony’s, business “Spotlights”, all demonstrate your Chamber’s dedication to keeping you informed and accessible to your customers. Chamber Directors bring experience, innovation and dedication to their positions. The Chamber office is staffed 3 days a week and is a frequent stop for tourists looking for business recommendations. The Chamber office is supplied with your business cards and stock cards for dissemination to the public.

The Chamber uses traditional and modern modes of advertisement to get the word out about our member businesses. The Colonial Beach Visitor’s Guide is the gold standard in print advertisement and is distributed to surrounding businesses, attractions, and Visitor’s Centers. Our Visitor’s Guide is a high-quality pamphlet that is used by residents and visitors alike. Your Chamber membership includes a free listing in the Visitor’s Guide. You also have the option to purchase ads in the Visitor’s Guide for greater recognition. Newspaper and magazine ads as well as radio spots are time-honored ways to promote and are used by the Chamber. Social media is the 21st Century way to spread the word and your Chamber of Commerce is right up to speed. Our Facebook page is very active and has new members joining daily. We spotlight member businesses and Chamber events that promote tourism and bring economic advantage to our Town.
