why the chamber?

The Selma and Dallas County Chamber of Commerce and Tourism Information is the most accurate and most trusted source for community information, localized business resources, and promotional materials for visitors.

WHO WE ARE

The Selma and Dallas County Chamber is the single largest business professional and community development organization in our region. Our membership team, now well over 300, has consistently reflected a broad cross-section of the area’s businesses and thought leaders since we were established all the way back in 1853. In fact, our Chamber even predates the United States Chamber of Commerce which was not founded until after the turn of the century, along with the overwhelming majority of Chambers nationwide. Speaking of the U.S. Chamber, it is just one of the many professional affiliations and memberships enjoyed by our Chamber, a few of which are listed below.
