Our Mission
Champions of Kerman commerce for 100 years.
The Kerman Chamber of Commerce exists to promote, celebrate, and connect the local businesses that make this corner of the West Valley what it is. We believe the strength of a small town is measured by the strength of its main street, and we work, day after day, to keep ours strong.
Champion
Promote our members across social media and at our events, so more of Kerman knows who to call.
Connect
Build the relationships that make doing business in Kerman feel less like work and more like community.
Celebrate
Recognize milestones, ribbon-cuttings, and the people who keep showing up for this town.
Our History
Showing up, decade after decade.

What we believe
Small towns build big things.
Community-first
Decisions get made with the long-term health of Kerman in mind, not the loudest voice in the room.
Neighbors first
Mixers, ribbon-cuttings, and hometown events where business owners get to know each other and the families they serve.
Independent
We answer to our members and our community, never to a single industry, party, or interest group.
Accountable
We file as a 501(c)(6) and our annual Form 990 is a matter of public record. We do what we said we would do, or we explain why we could not.
