Our History
Establishing the Chamber
From its humble beginnings from over 100-years ago to today, the Greater Green Bay Chamber is proud to serve not only area businesses, but the community-at-large. While we’ve had a few name changes and looks over the years, our commitment has always been to the betterment of our business community.
In 1882, a group of forward-thinking individuals came together to create a business entity. They sought a central place where businesses could connect, learn about opportunities, find solutions and have a “collective impact” greater than any one of them could make on their own. They filled this need by establishing the Business Men’s Association. And more than 135-years later, we’re still alive and flourishing. Today, we’re known as the Greater Green Bay Chamber and our mission of good business = good community is still just as relevant.
