Chamber of Commerce

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, informs, monitors and takes action on issues that impact business as well as commercial and residential property owners.

Funded totally by its membership, the Chamber also promotes the quality of life of the community through its publications, Web site, events and programs.

As part of its commitment to the residential as well as business community, the Chamber hosts public forums to educate and share information on important issues. Complimentary breakfast meetings provide a forum for citizens to meet candidates running in local, county, state and national elections.

The Chamber partners with both cities to address business issues. The Chamber also welcomes new businesses to the community and sponsors programs and events where businesses can network and grow. It encourages interaction and trade between local businesses and provides opportunities for members to promote their products and services through a series of networking luncheons, leads group, breakfast meetings, business-to-business after hours, business expos, open houses and ribbon cutting ceremonies.

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) for an annual Business Expo.

The Chamber’s Board of Directors is a diverse group of the membership representing a wide range of business and community leaders that include small to large business owners, professionals, retailers, restaurateurs and educators.

Each year the Chamber recognizes firefighters and police officers who have demonstrated outstanding courage and dedication to duty and a legislator who has been a strong advocate for business issues. The Chamber’s Businessperson of the Year Award is presented to a member who is successful in the business world, has demonstrated ethical business practices and is a role model for future business leaders.

Members of the Chamber also tour area schools to meet with principals and students to talk about their programs and how educators are preparing students for their role as future business and community leaders.

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 and an Annual Dinner Dance and Auction.
