Creve Coeur Chamber of Commerce

Advocating Strong Business

The Mission of the Creve Coeur-Olivette Chamber of Commerce is to serve as an advocate for business. The Chamber is the voice of the business community and acts as a liaison between business and government. It studies, reports, monitors and takes action on issues that impact business.

Funded totally by its member businesses, the Chamber promotes the quality of life of the Creve Coeur and Olivette communities through its publication and distribution of a community profile magazine and area map.

As part of its commitment to the community, the Chamber hosts public forums and complimentary breakfast meetings for citizens to meet candidates running in local, county, state and national elections.

The Chamber partners with both cities to address issues that impact area businesses and provides an environment for businesses to network and grow. The Chamber is represented on the Economic Development Commission of both the City of Creve Coeur and the City of Olivette and offers counsel and advice on issues that impact its constituents. The Chamber also serves on the Board of Directors of the Missouri Chamber Federation and partners with the Regional Chamber and Growth Association (RCGA).

The Chamber’s Board of Directors is a diverse group of key community leaders that includes small, as well as large companies, retailers, restaurants, educational institutions and major medical centers.

The Chamber encourages interaction and trade between local businesses and provides opportunities for those businesses to promote their products and services through a series of networking luncheon meetings, a Business Leads Group, breakfast forums, Business2Business events, and an annual Business Expo and Taste of Area Restaurants, co-hosted by the RCGA.

The Chamber takes great pride in welcoming new businesses to the community; it coordinates ribbon cutting ceremonies with area officials and also offers an email and fax service for residents and businesses to keep in touch with events and issues important to the community.

During the year, the Chamber honors heroic and outstanding actions by local firefighters, paramedics and police officers.

It promotes educational excellence through its partnership with the Parkway Northeast Middle School by rewarding students who have demonstrated outstanding acts of citizenship. The Chamber promotes entrepreneurialism and the free enterprise system by recognizing an outstanding businessperson of the year, as well as an outstanding legislator of the year who is an advocate for business.

Businesses and residents are also invited to participate in Chamber events including a Spring Golf Tournament at the Creve Coeur Municipal Golf Course, a Fall Golf Tournament hosted by Glen Echo Country Club and an Annual Dinner Auction.
