Founded in 1934, the Odessa Chamber of Commerce is a volunteer premier business organization, incorporated in the State of Texas. The Chamber promotes the civic, economic, industrial, agricultural, educational and social welfare of the people of Odessa. In addition, the Chamber extends the domestic and foreign trade of commercial interests in our community.

The Odessa Chamber of Commerce unites more than 1,200 business organizations, individuals, and professional firms to create a unique central agency working to improve business and build a better community. More than 80 percent of the membership is composed of small companies interested in prospering and creating a healthy environment in which to conduct business. Most importantly, the Chamber is a dynamic group of citizens who realize that they can accomplish more collectively than any one business can do individually. The strength of the Chamber lies in attracting the greatest number of participants and creating a pool of resources from which to draw ideas, energy and finances.
