Dear New Member:

Thank you for joining the Hammond Chamber of Commerce. Membership in the Chamber is a great business decision that gives you a competitive “Edge” in the regional business community and the Hammond Chamber of Commerce is dedicated to making Hammond and the regional area a better place to live, work and conduct business.

As the premier advocacy organization for business in Hammond, we are working to promote a healthy and vibrant economy while protecting and advancing the interest of our members and the community as a whole. The chamber works in conjunction with citizens, businesses, educational and governmental partners to provide a positive business environment and improve the quality of life in Hammond.

The many initiatives of the Hammond Chamber of Commerce include education improvement, economic development and positive collaboration with government. The Education Committee works closely with the Tangipahoa Parish School Board, Southeastern Louisiana University and the business community to promote meaningful quality education. The Chamber is the driving force behind the Accelerated Magnet Program, providing more exposure to the arts to the students of Hammond. Our Governmental Affairs Committee monitors business-related legislation at the local, state and federal levels and measures its possible effects on the business community. This committee works diligently to establish and maintain relationships with the local, state and federal government. Our committees are an important part of the organization and we encourage you to get involved to help make a difference.

You are invited to join a committee and attend the many Chamber networking events! Both are great ways to promote your business and make the Hammond Chamber of Commerce stronger. Please contact the Chamber office at 985-345-4457 if you have any questions.

As always we thank you for your commitment to the Hammond Chamber of Commerce and the regional business environment.

Sincerely,
Charlotte Lenoir
Executive Director
