The Independence Chamber of Commerce is a not-for-profit, community-based organization that promotes Independence's economic growth and provides leadership to develop a high-performing local business community. It is accredited by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and represents a partnership of more than 600 member businesses and professionals. Founded in 1920, the chamber is based in Independence, Missouri, and is governed by a board elected by more than 1,200 member businesses. The 22-member board appoints a president who leads a professional staff to manage daily operations, with goals achieved through the collaboration of the board, staff, and volunteers. In early 2024, the organization announced a collaboration with Elk City State Park to host a New Year's hiking and biking excursion, illustrating its involvement in regional community initiatives.
