About the Chamber
Founded in 1964, this dynamic, pro-active organization lives by its motto, Advancing the Regional Agenda through Business Leadership. The Greater Valley Chamber of Commerce represents the Connecticut business community of Ansonia, Beacon Falls, Derby, Oxford, Seymour, Shelton and the surrounding area. The Chamber is currently comprised of a cross-section of our area’s businesses large & small and across many sectors which include financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, retail, professional services, technology, transportation, utilities, and non-profit. As a member driven organization, the Chamber relies on many volunteer businesses and community leaders to achieve its mission.
