About Me

In 120 years of existence, The Chamber has managed to maintain its core goals and values; focusing on the development of businesses in the metropolitan area, increasing civic leadership in Greater Kansas City, and improving the overall quality of life in our two-state area. Yes, two states… Kansas and Missouri.
Let us help you become better connected in Kansas City with social and business networking. The Chamber’s membership extends from Lee’s Summit to Lenexa and beyond. Check to see if your employer is a Chamber member so you can enjoy the benefits that we offer all of our members. The Chamber has over 300 programs and events that you’re more than welcome to attend.
Of course we’re not your grandfather’s Chamber of Commerce. We’ve come a long way since 1887 when the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce was known as the Commercial Club. The Commercial Club members were made up of… well… grandfathers!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

If you’re a YOUNG PROFESSIONAL in Kansas or Missouri, we’re talking to you! We’re looking for the Creative Class, you know… people between the ages 21 and 35. We want the movers and shakers; the thinkers and doers; artists, computer techs, athletes, dancers, musicians, singers, actors, entrepreneurs, writers, teachers, philanthropists, the up-and-comers, and the urbanites.
