The Indian River County Chamber of Commerce is organized into working divisions, committees and task forces manned by volunteer members. These members take an active role in planning and implementing programs and strategies to achieve the goals and objectives of the business community.

Economic Development Division
As the key agency for county-wide economic development efforts, the Chamber provides leadership and resources to encourage a healthy local economy through the attraction and retention of industry. The division works in cooperation with the County's Economic Development Council and is composed of two working committees: Economic Development and the Manufacturers Council.
Primary funding for this division is generated through our Private Industry Partners, County funds, in-kind services, grants and donations.

County Economic Leadership Roundtable
Originally a function of the Economic Recovery Program following 9-11-01, this roundtable brings together the county’s government and business leaders to work on common goals and objectives to strengthen our local economy.

Tourism Division
Vero Beach is a primary international visitor destination, therefore; tourism is big business in Indian River County. The Chamber is the lead agency for the promotion of this major county industry. With a focus on off-season visitors, the County is marketed regionally and internationally. This Chamber function is funded through the county bed tax and in-kind contributions from the Chamber and visitor industry business.

Legislative Division
Volunteers in this division monitor local, state, and federal legislation; study, recommend, and communicate Chamber positions on pending legislation affecting the business community to appropriate government officials; and propose legislation when needed.

Business and Education Division
This active division develops, promotes and provides programs to enhance the relationships and partnerships between the business and education communities, and communicates with schools about the educational needs for the present and future work force.

Membership Division
“Ambassadors” are an active liaison between the Chamber office and staff and the membership. They serve as welcome agents for new members at Chamber functions and make contact with members throughout the year about upcoming events and activities. They also participate in the development of new memberships.

Special Events Committees
To help insure the finances of the Chamber, special events committees identify and implement potential new events and explore ways to enhance existing events such as the golf tournament.

Seminar and Education Committee
Bringing educational opportunities to Chamber members is the responsibility of the seminar and education committee. This committee searches for speakers and topics that enhance the knowledge of members in areas as diverse as human resource topics and website development.
