Coral Gables Chamber of Commerce was created by George E. Merrick in 1925. It was created to enhance the quality of life and economic interests is its mission. The chamber consists of professionals and businesses who want to expand the economy of the area.
There are many opportunities to be involved with their 20 committees and subcommittees. If your interests include advocacy or international affairs, the 20/30 group, independent business development or travel and tourism you will find your place. The types of services that are available to the community such as great business advantages, renowned restaurants, extraordinary entertainment and world-class shopping are strengthened by the support of members, residents, local organizations and city officials.
