Since 1977, the Upper Arlington Area Chamber of Commerce has been a voluntary, member-supported organization of business, industrial and professional people who are dedicated to developing, promoting and maintaining a sound and healthy economic climate for the Upper Arlington area. The Chamber is a non-profit organization comprised of nearly 500 area businesses who support our growing organization and who work together to enhance the Upper Arlington area business community. The Chamber promotes the development, retention and expansion of area businesses by providing its members with marketing opportunities, benefit programs and community advocacy.
