Our mission at the Ottawa Area Chamber of Commerce is to strengthen, support, and promote the economic vitality of our member businesses and community.

Celebrating Over a Century of Service
Since 1921, the Ottawa Area Chamber of Commerce has proudly supported the local business community through periods of growth, economic challenges, and transformation. With over 100 years of service, we continue to stand as a dependable advocate and resource for businesses in Ottawa, Ohio, and the surrounding area.

Our diverse membership represents a wide range of industries, organizations, and service providers. As the central hub for business activity in the region, the Chamber offers a growing array of member services designed to promote savings, visibility, and success. These include networking opportunities, access to business information and resources, event promotion, participation in community activities, and member-to-member referrals.

In addition to these core services, the Chamber provides value-added benefits such as access to a group health insurance plan and a group rating for workers’ compensation. We create opportunities for business owners to connect, collaborate, and grow, moving beyond the office to build meaningful relationships and expand their reach within the community.

The Ottawa Area Chamber of Commerce is committed to supporting the businesses that are already part of our region while fostering an environment that enhances the health, culture, and overall quality of life in our community. We maintain strong ties with all sectors—business, civic, and nonprofit—to drive local progress and prosperity.

Simply put: your goals matter. We are here to collaborate with you and for you, promoting growth and success for our business members and our community.
