What We Do

Founded in 1887, the Lima/Allen County Chamber of Commerce is the community’s leading advocate and champion for business. Its primary objective is to create a climate of growth and success in our community.

The Lima/Allen County Chamber of Commerce provides leadership and business-building initiatives focusing on the community’s critical priorities. Leveraging the support, talent, and resources of our members, we are one of the leading organizations helping to improve the economic vitality and livability of the Greater Lima Region.

As an advocate for businesses and our communities, we are living and breathing “Real American Strength” in our everyday programs, efforts, and initiatives. We encourage our local businesses and community members to evaluate how they demonstrate “Real American Strength, Style, Skill, Possibility, Heart and Roots,” in their everyday activities.

As one of the champions for the Greater Lima Region in the Lima/Allen County community, we have partnered with Allen Economic Development Group and Visit Greater Lima to develop a unique community marketing tool. The website WeAreRealAmerican.com has been developed to showcase the strength of businesses, livability, and infrastructure of the Greater Lima Region.

We are proud that the Lima/Allen County Chamber of Commerce, through our many partnerships, has become one of the leading organizations helping to improve the economic vitality and livability for everyone in the Greater Lima Region.
