The State Chamber is your voice in Dover
The Delaware State Chamber of Commerce is the preeminent statewide business organization promoting a strong business climate in Delaware. We strive to create a statewide economic climate that enables all businesses to become more competitive. Our team consistently meets with Delaware’s Congressional delegation and plays a leading role when advocating issues before the General Assembly. Our Board of Directors, Board of Governors and committees assist in promulgating rules and regulations stemming from the various federal, state and local agencies that oversee business activity.

We are proud to be leaders on the public policy front. Recent achievements include:

• Passing reforms to the Coastal Zone Act, which prioritizes solutions that will both strengthen the economy and enhance our natural resources. The State Chamber will now work with DNREC, who must develop and implement the updated regulations.
  
• Spearheading the creation of a public-private partnership dedicated to marketing the state to businesses so that they choose Delaware as their new home. The newly formed Delaware Prosperity Partnership focuses on bringing and retaining jobs in Delaware – a top priority for the State Chamber.
  
• Partnering with the Delaware Business Roundtable on the launch of the Delaware Growth Agenda, a framework of economic development and growth that includes public policy recommendations centered on three strategic goals to be implemented over the next five years.
  
• Reducing workers compensation rates by 33% over three years.
  
• Actively shaping legislation and regulations that impact our members on issues such as: taxation, online privacy, health care policy, abandoned property, labor and employment law, education reform and economic development.
  

We help our members forge new business relationships through networking and other social events meant to create an environment where businesses thrive in Delaware.
