  • WELCOME

We’re so happy you’ve joined us in our mission to improve our region’s quality of life. We’re a catalyst for dynamic job creation, policy change and economic growth that enhances the quality of life in our region: Cumberland, Dauphin and Perry counties.

Together with our members, we’ve accomplished some pretty amazing things over the last 130 years. We can’t wait to see what we can do with you on our team!

Fast Facts

  • Our 1,000 member organizations range from small businesses to not-for-profits to Fortune 500 companies across Cumberland, Dauphin and Perry counties and beyond.
  • We are not a government organization. However, we do work closely with elected officials to help strengthen our region’s quality of life.
  • As a not-for-profit organization, we are 95-percent privately-funded through revenue generated by membership, events, sponsorships, donations and CREDC services.
  • We are proud to have a 5-star accreditation from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce—a level achieved by less than 2 percent of chambers nationwide.
