What is a Chamber of Commerce?  It is a membership organization operated by and for business and commercial interests.  It is the central agency that corrals the forces of the community for its improvement and development -- in business and in industry.

How do I become a Chamber member?  Becoming a Chamber member is simple!  Businesses and organizations are eligible to belong to the Chamber.  Dues are structured so even the smallest business can be a member.  Just contact the Chamber office at 770-832-2446 to request an application, or download the form from this site and return it by mail or fax to:  Carroll County Chamber of Commerce, 200 Northside Drive, Carrollton, Georgia 30117.  Fax (770) 832-1300.

How can I find out about Chamber events?  The Chamber's monthly member newsletter includes a monthly calendar noting all scheduled events.  A complete listing of Chamber events can also be found online on this site.  In addition, we send reminders to members in a weekly eblast to our members.
