Director's Welcome

Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce of New Hampshire 

The Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce extends a warm welcome to visitors and the local business community.  The Chamber is a dynamic 501(c) non-profit organization comprised of approximately 500 businesses.

The Lakes Region area covers 18 towns and cities surrounding beautiful lakes, rivers and mountains that attract tourists, residents and companies alike.  Our vibrant economy, commercial activity, diverse cultural opportunities, and our destination location makes our commitment an easy one:  we promote and support a healthy environment that makes the Lakes Region and New Hampshire the ideal place to live, work and do business. 

The Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce is committed to building solid partnerships with its member businesses, the towns and cities we service, local universities and colleges and the non-profit agencies throughout the region. As an advocate for business, we strive to create a healthy economy while at the same time preserving the quality of life we all enjoy. Since many of our members' businesses extend beyond the Lakes Region, we also are involved in regional and state issues such as housing, transportation, growth and technology.

The Chamber is comprised of a diverse group of people who share a passion for conducting business in our area and getting involved in the community.  We truly appreciate their commitment and the spirit of our wonderful volunteers.  From community initiatives like Choose Franklin, Tilton Main Street, Laconia Main Street Program, Lakeport Community Association to the Weirs Action Committee, the opportunities for involvement are as diverse as our member base.

We are proud of all our region has to offer and hope you will enjoy your time in the Lakes Region.  Whether you are a resident, business owner, first time or seasoned visitor or looking to relocate here, WELCOME!
