Chamber <strong>of</strong> Commerce<br />

Supported Outside Agencies<br />

The <strong>Meredith</strong> Area Chamber <strong>of</strong> Commerce consists <strong>of</strong> over 300 businesses that are organized to advance<br />

and promote the commercial, industrial, service, pr<strong>of</strong>essional, tourism, and retail interests <strong>of</strong> <strong>Meredith</strong> and<br />

its trade area. While many <strong>of</strong> the activities <strong>of</strong> the Chamber are tourist related, all segments <strong>of</strong> the business<br />

community make up the membership.<br />

The Chamber <strong>of</strong>fice is located at 272 Daniel Webster Highway and is open year round. Visitors to the<br />

Center find a wide array <strong>of</strong> promotional literature about the Lakes Region.<br />

Staffing the Center in 2012 were Jean Greenlaw, Stephanie Whiting, Molly Landrigan, and Adrienne<br />

Stevens.<br />

The Chamber maintains a website which lists all Chamber members, is registered with the major search<br />

engines, and provides members with advertising opportunities. Community organizations are also listed<br />

on the site as well as a comprehensive calendar <strong>of</strong> events.<br />

Again this year, the Chamber conducted an advertising campaign designed to entice people to visit the<br />

area and we produced and distributed a four color, 24 page, high quality brochure which was distributed at<br />

high traffic tourist attractions in Vermont, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts as well at the state rest<br />

areas and the Manchester Airport Visitor Center. The brochure is also mailed out in response to inquiries<br />

received at the Chamber.<br />

Chamber sponsored events included the Lakes Region Fine Arts and Crafts Festival, Margaritaville in<br />

<strong>Meredith</strong>, the Awards Ceremony at the Annual Meeting. Regular Business After Hours and Breakfast<br />

Forums were held and The Marine Services Guide, the Around the <strong>Town</strong> Map, the Wedding Guide, the<br />

Pr<strong>of</strong>essional Guide, and the<br />

Service Guide were all<br />

updated. In addition, the<br />

Chamber assists many<br />

community organizations in<br />

the promotion <strong>of</strong> their events.<br />

The Chamber greatly<br />

appreciates the support <strong>of</strong> the<br />

community for its many<br />

activities and is especially<br />

appreciative <strong>of</strong> the<br />

cooperation and assistance<br />

received from the various<br />

departments <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Town</strong> in<br />

carrying out its many<br />

projects.<br />
