About the Chamber of Commerce

The Martha's Vineyard Chamber of Commerce (MVCC) is a non-profit, professional organization made up of the Martha's Vineyard business community. It is for those who realize that there is enormous strength in unity and incredible benefit to be gained in the constant exchange of ideas and information. It is also for those who continually strive for excellence and quality in the highly competitive field of small business ownership.

The MVCC is unique in many ways, in that we are both the local Chamber of Commerce and also the local Visitors and Convention Bureau. We are also one of only six Regional Tourism Councils sanctioned by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. We offer a broad-reaching selection of programs and publications that are vital to Island businesses, and are the central point of contact for national, local and international press.

In today's business environment, the smaller you are, the more difficult and expensive operating a business becomes. Alone, you feel as if you're taking on more than your fair share. As a Chamber member, you have the clout of being part of an 1100-plus member (and growing) organization. We offer services including this Web site, group rate insurance plans, legislative monitoring on the local, state, and national levels, communications networking, managerial services, discounted advertising rates, and educational programs. In addition, members receive correspondence with timely and informative coverage of issues vitally important to their position in the business marketplace.

In this area of the site you'll find details on Member Benefits, Promotional Programs and information on the many Publications produced by the MVCC in which our members can participate. The MVCC knows the Island and is here to help member businesses succeed — join today! It may be the best business investment you ever make.
