Indy Chamber People
About the Indy Chamber
Where innovation meets performance.
The ten-county Indy region is a world-class region; one where innovation meets performance and businesses and talent have access to the resources they need to meet their full potential. The Greater Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce, referred to as the Indy Chamber, exists at the center of that work. The Indy Chamber is a 501(c)6 economic development organization. Founded in 1890, the organization has deep roots in economic development and quality of place. Today, the organization, governed by a Board of Directors representing over 150 businesses across the region, convenes over 2,000 members and serves as the regional voice for advocacy, economic development, and quality of place—all critical to strengthening the competitiveness of Indy’s business climate.
Our Mission

The Indy Chamber serves as a regional voice of progress and improvement, uniting business and community to maintain a strong economy and quality of life. Our advocacy efforts, networking events, economic development initiatives, and membership opportunities foster collaboration and position business leaders and the collective community for success.

2021 Chamber of the Year
The Indy Chamber was named the 2021 Chamber of the Year, presented by the Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives (ACCE). ACCE, based in Alexandria, Va., has over 1,600 chambers of commerce and related business and economic development organizations as members, representing more than 9,000 professionals in the industry. This is the organization’s first Chamber of the Year designation; awarded for the development of a Rapid Response Hub to support businesses through the global pandemic and for their Inclusive Incentives Initiative which guides local and regional economic development strategies. The 2021 Chamber of the Year award is the most prestigious and competitive recognition awarded annually by ACCE. It recognizes the leadership role chambers of commerce have in their communities. Those honored with the Chamber of the Year designation have demonstrated organizational strength and impacted key community priorities, such as education, transportation, economic prosperity, and quality of life. The Indy Chamber is grateful to serve a leading Chamber of Commerce working to support businesses across the nine-county, Indy region.
