About the
Chamber
GREATER SEBRING CHAMBER OF COMMERCE:
“The Voice of the Business Community Since 1914”
The mission of the Greater Sebring Chamber of Commerce is
to serve the economic, educational, governmental and
social interests of the people, organizations and communities
it represents while fostering a prosperous and harmonious
environment in which to live, learn and work.
We help facilitate these efforts by connecting local businesses,
non-profit organizations and citizens in the Greater Sebring
area. We provide members with the opportunity to promote
and grow their business through a variety of networking
events. We are a reliable source of community and business
information and the Chamber is home to the largest Welcome
Center in the county.
CREATING A STRONG LOCAL ECONOMY
The Sebring Chamber encourages a strong local economy
by connecting you with the right resources that your business
needs to succeed. We have strong relationships and serve as
a liaison to the Small Business Development Center (SBDC),
Highlands County Economic Development (EDC), Sebring
Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA), Highlands
County Tourist Development Council (TDC), and more. We
also get you connected with your state legislators through our
annual Legislative Luncheon, where they come to meet business
owners face-to-face, update us on any important
pieces of legislation coming down the pipeline, and more.
PROMOTING THE COMMUNITY
At the Sebring Chamber, OUR business is promoting YOUR
business. That’s why we offer complimentary ribbon cuttings
and grand opening ceremonies to any member of the
Chamber. We also use our weekly newsletter to spread the
word about what’s going on at your organization and send it
to our 1000+ email contacts. We also publish this Area Guide
each year to keep new residents in tune with our community
and to connect them with our members.
