For nearly 100 years, the Bainbridge Chamber has been a cornerstone of our community.

It all began in November 1927 when a group of eleven local business leaders created a new organization to ‘foster and promote the trade, industrial and agricultural interests, civic advancement, and general welfare of Bainbridge Island’.

Through our public and member events we have forged relationships that have held strong for decades. Our close partnerships with local organizations, both charitable and business related, have allowed us to further the efforts of our economic development on the Island.

We are advocates for our members, community connectors, and ambassadors for our island. We welcome all to join our membership and share in our community work.​​

Chamber Affiliations

The Bainbridge Chamber is a member of the Washington Chamber of Commerce Executives, the Western Association of Chamber Executives and the Association of Washington Business. These organizations serve as valuable partners, and a way to access peers, libraries of best practices and other professional training and resources.

There is a misconception that all local chambers are automatically associated with U.S. Chamber of Commerce. This is not the case.  Like every partnership-based organization, you must join and pay dues to be part of the national Chamber. The Bainbridge Chamber is not a member of or otherwise affiliated with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
