What Does the Chamber Do for the Community and Its Members?

The Chamber…
Chamber members are as diverse as the county itself; they represent businesses and organizations of all sizes and industries, and viewpoints from every position on the political spectrum. As the voice for business, we work to improve the economy and quality of life in the Goshen County area by providing local businesses the tools they need to more effectively function.

Promotes Our Members
Through the visitors center, relocation guides, office and Web site, the Chamber connects thousands of people each year with our member businesses. We also provide our members with valuable advertising and sponsorship opportunities to increase the reach of their current marketing efforts.

Supports the Community
The Chamber promotes local businesses and community attractions through the visitors center. We also give people and businesses relocation information they need to make sound decisions about Goshen County communities.

The Chamber staff work closely and support local and state agencies, including city, county, and state government; workforce entities; education, and human services. We also work with local community and service organizations, including Goshen County Economic Development, Goshen County Association of Governments, Torrington Merchants Association, Torrington Main Street Program, Prison Community Partnership Committee, Community Pride Foundation, and the Goshen County Joint Powers Tourism Promotion Board.

Through our various committees, we improve the quality of life in our community by supporting local businesses, education and leadership, agriculture, and local attractions.

Represents Business
As a member of the Chamber, topics that are of interest to you and your business will be represented with local, state and national officials. We lobby statewide and nationally through our partner organizations, Wyoming Chamber of Commerce Executives and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

Strengthens the Economy
Each year, the Goshen County Chamber of Commerce helps to strengthen the local economy by helping to keep money in the county through referrals and Chamber Bucks gift certificates. We also hold annual events like the Biggest Business After Hours and the Ag Appreciation Breakfast.

Provides Networking Events
The Chamber provides members with monthly events to network, increase name recognition, and connect with other professionals. Examples of these events are Business After Hours and monthly Ambassador luncheon meetings.
