CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

The Old Saybrook Chamber of Commerce's first regular meeting was held July 12, 1939 in the basement of the Town Hall. Since those humble beginnings, the Chamber has grown and flourished along with the Town. We now boast 300+ members and have a "window on Main Street" from our storefront office. We award a $1,500 scholarship annually and host four major events.

MISSION STATEMENT

"The Chamber is a member driven organization dedicated to enhancing the economic vitality and quality of life in Old Saybrook and its surrounding communities."
