The chamber engages the diverse segments of our regional economy with a common goal of creating a better business community, a better community in which to live, work, play and raise a family. The main office is located at 48 Central Square in downtown Keene, NH, and the Chamber is primarily a volunteer-based organization that works to serve the needs of the membership through a variety of networking, educational, marketing and community service programs. The Greater Keene and Peterborough Chamber of Commerce is not a member of the US Chamber of Commerce.

Chamber President, Luca Paris, directs a staff of four part-time employees who serve the needs of Chamber members directly … and indirectly by handling thousands of inquiries about our region.

When issues arise in the community where it is appropriate for the Chamber to take a public position, the following process will be followed:

1. The issue is brought to the President or an Executive Committee member;

2. The Executive Committee reviews the issue and, if there is consensus, the issue is brought to the full Board for discussion and decision;

3. The Executive Committee will gather and report information on both sides of the issue.
