About the Chamber
The Bedford Chamber of Commerce has served this community for over 30 years with a plethora of programs that support our mission to be "In Business for Business". Our many networking events complement our community events that demonstrate the Chamber's commitment to making Bedford a great place to work and to live. Over the years our mission has remained relevant as we evolve in the many ways we serve our commercial, government and community partners.
Recent programming includes a task force on economic development in Bedford, Community Leaders Breakfasts, Women's Networking meetings, Business Diversity Training and our annual events such as Flavors of Bedford, The Annual Dinner and The Prom Stroll. Our office serves as a clearing house numerous inquiries regarding commercial services and community activities, which consistently lead to members of the Chamber.
