Hendersonville Chamber & Government Relations

A key mission of the Hendersonville Chamber is to be the voice of business. While Chamber members enjoy unparalleled access to networking, promotional and educational opportunities, our members also benefit from the Chamber’s regulatory and legislative advocacy initiatives at the local, county and state level. Dedicated volunteers throughout the business community actively monitor the issues and decisions at every level of government for action by our chamber leadership. Engagement through annual events such as: Business Council Meetings, Coffee & Conversations, Aldermen Receptions/Panels, timely candidate forums and the and the annual State of the City address are just a few of the mechanisms we employ to keep our business community informed about relevant issues.

Successful economic development in today’s global economy requires carefully orchestrated coordination between numerous private and governmental entities. Whether recruiting new businesses to the area or promoting the growth of existing companies, no single organization can stand alone.

Throughout the greater Nashville region, the Hendersonville Chamber of Commerce serves as a critical linchpin in the economic development process. The Chamber works closely with all governmental agencies to ensure that the needs of local businesses are being met. Some of the most critical economic partners include the City of Hendersonville, Sumner County, Forward Sumner, Sumner County Tourism and the Tennessee Small Business Development Center.

The Chamber’s smooth collaboration with local governmental agencies is crucial to maintaining the health and growth of the Hendersonville area economy.
