Bartlett Chamber of Commerce – Strengthening the Community
Recognizing the contribution that Bartlett Chamber members make to the local community is never overstated. Most citizens recognize the local chamber of commerce as the cheerleader for their community but few realize that the businesses that support their Chamber are exceptional. Bartlett Chamber members are a minority of companies that comprise the local business community. This group of diverse businesses, from advanced manufacturing and distribution to mom & pop retail establishments, are the true heroes of the business community who give their time, energy and resources to ensure that Bartlett remains viable and holds a future for its children. According to a 2012 study by the Schapiro Group “Consumers believe businesses who are members of a local chamber are more reputable, use good business practices, care about customers, and are more involved in the community”.
The Bartlett Area Chamber, representing over 700 businesses in the Greater Bartlett Area, is committed to making this community the very best it can be and to ensure another 150 years of growth and prosperity.
