Mission Statement

It’s Good Business to be a member of the
Legendary Key Largo Chamber of Commerce

A Proud History

The Key Largo Chamber of Commerce has been a testament to the dedication and commitment of its members since the late 1930's when a group of Upper Keys business owners got together to discuss how to improve their business environment.

Key Largo is a renowned destination and a name that experience has proven guarantees an enthusiastic and positive response.

Since its inception, the focus of the Legendary Key Largo Chamber of Commerce has been the promotion of the economy through support of good business, good government and good citizenship.

The Key Largo Chamber of Commerce works closely with all local organizations and Institutions to improve the quality of life for all. We interact with government on the local, state and federal levels on issues of importance to the business community.

The Key Largo Chamber of Commerce is active in all aspects of community life, and through various projects and committees our members show they share the Chamber's commitment to community and business service.

The island of Key Largo, and the Florida Keys as a whole, relies totally on its major industry - tourism. The Chamber promotes the importance of maintaining and enhancing this industry with the knowledge that all businesses in the community benefit from a thriving tourist economy.

Every dollar spent by a visitor for accommodations, attractions, dining or shopping filters down to our accountants, attorneys, bankers, contractors, electricians, hairdressers, insurance agents, painters, physicians, veterinarians and on and on.

The Chamber provides many opportunities for community and personal growth through its committees. Members are encouraged to become an integral part of the progress of the Chamber and the community through investing time in your special area of interest.

We Mean Business!

The key to the Chamber's future success lies in the membership. Let the Chamber know about your business concerns and allow the Chamber to demonstrate how it can serve you. The members define the direction of the Chamber, and your voice needs to be heard. Join us as we endeavor to bring a healthy, happy successful working environment to the communities in which we live, and a prosperous future to each and every one.
