About Our Chamber of Commerce
©NathanCoe.com
The Nantucket Island Chamber of
Commerce was founded in 1934 and
incorporated in 1954. It is the primary
organization dedicated to promoting the
interests of the island business community.
With over 675 business, nonprofit, and
individual members, the Chamber is also
concerned with the ongoing viability and
vitality of the historical, cultural, civic,
environmental and recreational features that
position Nantucket as a premier destination
for visitors and provides a special way of life
for its residents. To that end, the Nantucket
Island Chamber of Commerce embraces its
mission statement:
to foster Nantucket’s economic vitality,
while respecting the island’s unique
quality of life, to the benefit of our
membership and community
The Chamber office is located in the heart
of historic downtown Nantucket – upstairs at
Zero Main Street – where our staff is available
to assist with visitor inquiries. Peruse our
extensive brochure racks, where you will find
a bounty of information about our member
businesses, activities, events, maps, and
more.
We look forward to assisting you!
