About the Nepean Chamber of Commerce
Background
As the grass-roots voice of suburban business, The Greater Nepean Chamber of Commerce is incorporated under provincial letters patent as a not-for-profit business organization since 1980.
Our mission is to promote, to develop and to protect business and the free enterprise environment. In short, we are in business to make, to save and to protect member's money.
In January of 2001, after serving the Nepean business community for more than 20 years, the Nepean Chamber of Commerce, along with seven other local Chambers from the former Regional Municipality of Ottawa Carleton, founded the National Capital Business Alliance (NCBA) to bring forward business issues of common concern to the Mayor and Council of the newly amalgamated City of Ottawa.
By associating with the NCBA, we are a vital part of the largest, most comprehensive and diverse business organization in the Nation's Capital. Operating as the "Nepean Chamber" within the NCBA speaks to our historical roots and primary focus on issues of a very local nature.
Sharing Your Vision
As a business person, your primary goal is success and we share your vision of personal prosperity through the free enterprise system. While there is no guaranteed formula to achieve and maintain a successful business, certain ingredients can combine to dramatically improve the odds in your favour. We are one of those ingredients.
Membership in the Nepean Chamber demonstrates that you are actively supporting efforts to enhance the business environment in which you operate. Direct referrals from our office and ample opportunities to network with new business colleagues are additional membership benefits. Membership is a legitimate tax-deductible business expense and, more importantly, it is an investment in your future.
Guarantee
Confident in our ability to help all businesses, we offer all new members, an unconditional 90-day, money-back guarantee.
Largest Business Network
The Nepean Chamber is a dynamic and fully autonomous business advocate representing literally hundreds of companies within western Ottawa. As your local business representative, we maintain strong ties with the Canadian and Ontario Chambers of Commerce with access to more than 65,000 members provincially and 170,000 nationally.
Open Membership
No matter where your company is geographically located, if you are interested in doing business in western Ottawa or with its merchants, your membership inquiry will be warmly received.
Creating Opportunities
Our many local functions and events are presented to you as opportunities, not obligations. Unlike many service clubs, attending meetings is optional based on your personal likes and dislikes and, of course, your availability to do so.
So Easy
To ensure that membership is available to even the smallest companies, our Chamber introduced Pre-authorized Chequing. Potential members can enjoy all the benefits of membership for as little as $18.00 per month.
