The Lakeville Area Chamber of Commerce has been representing the interests of the local business community for over 60 years. It is not a civic club, charitable organization or department of city government, but rather a private, non-profit, tax-paying corporation. The Chamber is a vehicle through which professionals can work for the common good of the Lakeville community. Our members know that by working together, we can improve the business climate, recruit and retain businesses, attract visitors to the area, and influence legislation that supports these goals. Therefore, The Chamber's mission is to serve as the advocate, resource and leader for its members and the business community by: • Delivering networking and marketing opportunities • Assisting economic development • Influencing public policy • Providing member education • Promoting tourism
