The Laughlin, Nevada Chamber of Commerce is the voice for business and catalyst for creating a stronger local economy.

Under the leadership of visionary business professionals the Chamber diligently works to protect and advocate on our members' behalf. The Chamber Board of Directors is comprised of eighteen leaders guiding and strategically adjusting the organization's Program of Work to focus on our four core functions: 1. To Create a Strong Local Economy; 2. To Promote the Community; 3. To Represent the Interest of Business with Government; 4. To Provide Networking & Relationship Building opportunities.

To Create a Stronger Local Economy
The Chamber works to strengthen our local economy by building supportive partnerships and relationships that enhance business. The Chamber recognizes the importance of developing coalitions, working closely with nearby chambers and economic development organizations to create business expansion programs and retention services to strengthen our regional economy.

We do this through the commitment of our volunteers working on…
The Business Advisory Panel
Business & Retention strategies
Membership Development
Nevada Small Business Development Center

To Promote the Community
This core function may be the one the Chamber is best known for because of our support and involvement in community-wide event planning. In early 2006, Board of Directors voted to add a new dimension to promoting the community. While Chamber staff is still actively engaged in providing visitors with the vital information they need to make their trip a success, emphasis is being placed on relocation fulfillment - business and residential.

We do this through the commitment of our volunteers working on…
Supporting closely with the Laughlin Tourism Committee
Responding to visitors and relocater inquiries

To Represent the Interest of Business with Government
The Chamber protects and advocates for our members through strong relationships with local and state legislators. Over the next year, the Chamber will develop a committee whose sole purpose is to identify policy issues and recommend positions to the Board of Directors on behalf of our members. Our goal is to watch your back on issues like Workers Compensation, Healthcare and other job killer anti-business legislation while you keep your business running. The Chamber plays a key role in developing coalitions and alliances on public policy issues that impact business.

We do this through the commitment of our volunteers working on…

To Provide Networking and Relationship Building Opportunities

The Chamber provides effective vehicle(s) to communicate the benefits of your services and/or products to other members. The Chamber represents the business community as the "voice of business" and therefore provides access to the brightest and best business contacts. Between 150 and 300 business people gather at different member locations to enjoy networking each month. Laughlin Chamber mixers are well known for their quality and emphasis on getting and giving leads.
