The Chattanooga Chamber’s 9 Councils are made up of 8 area Councils and our International Business Council. These 9 Councils are the foundation of our volunteer-driven initiatives, supporting businesses within specific geographic areas of our community. Each Council provides members with opportunities to engage in problem-solving, discuss local issues, and contribute to events and civic projects that benefit businesses, schools, and residents in their Council’s footprint.
At monthly meetings, members enjoy networking opportunities and insightful speakers. Each Council operates independently with its own volunteer board of directors, strategic plan, budget, programs, and initiatives—tailored to meet the unique needs of its members. While Councils meet on the same day each month, event details may occasionally change.
To stay up to date, check the Chamber’s events page, join their email distribution list, or follow the Council’s social media pages before attending an event.
