Madison Chamber of Commerce

The Madison Chamber of Commerce, founded more than 60 years ago, is an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization comprised of business leaders dedicated to the interest of Madison. The Chamber’s vital projects support both businesses and Madison residents.

The Chamber of Commerce has chosen a new look with a fresh approach and adopted a new logo. The new logo is modern yet traditional and it captures and represents the history of our town. The outer part of the logo has a strong black ring that states our name. The ring could be said to represent unity or even a coin. Within the heart of the ring there is a contemporary, stylized burgundy rose. The rose was an easy choice as Madison is still the Rose City, even after all these years. The logo simultaneously shows the Chamber’s respect for the past and commitment to the future.

The primary function of the Chamber is to support, preserve and develop business in Madison. Membership includes a Chamber Web site, networking, group advertising opportunities and lectures. Program topics have included fraud prevention, advertising and Web sites, motivational speaking and sustainability. To maintain communication with the membership, there are monthly General Membership meetings and a Chamber newsletter.

The Chamber produces the popular Value Card Program which offers special discounts and incentives from Chamber businesses and continues to have a strong Gift Certificate program. The Chamber sponsors many events to benefit its members: Annual Sidewalk Sales, Easter Fun Fest, the Taste of Madison, holiday shopping promotions, Halloween Parade, Fire Extinguisher Inspection program, Retailer’s Round Robin and the Merchant of the Month program. The Chamber also hosts the Annual Awards Picnic in June.

The Chamber supports its local schools and universities and encourages school fundraising through the Gift Certificate and Value Card program. The Chamber also funds the Jack Morris Memorial Scholarship Program for Madison High School students pursuing careers in business.

The Chamber actively partners with many other community organizations, including the Downtown Development Commission, The Rotary Club of Madison, Madison Recreation Department and the Madison P.B.A. 92. The Chamber sponsors Sidewalk Sales Day in June, the Antique and Custom Car Show in October and the popular Taste of Madison, in conjunction with the DDC and the Rotary, in the winter.
