The mission of the Frederick County Chamber of Commerce is to create value for our members through leadership, education, advocacy and networking, and to move the business community forward by promoting shared interests.

The Frederick County Chamber of Commerce serves as the voice of business and provides strategic leadership and engagement in building the future of business and the community through information, collaboration, advocacy and services on behalf of the employers in our community.

The vision of the Frederick County Chamber of Commerce is to create a culture of innovation and collaboration for the Frederick County business community.

Since 1912 the Chamber has worked diligently with local government, education, private industry and a host of other agencies and organizations to improve the business environment and promote Frederick County as a premier community in which to live, work and do business.

"As a person who was not raised in Frederick County and began his professional career elsewhere, I can say with absolute confidence that participation in the Frederick County Chamber of Commerce was one of the most significant contributors to the advancement of my professional career and my evolution as a material contributor to the wellbeing of this community.  The Leadership Frederick program, from which I was fortunate enough to graduate, provided substantial insight and education as to what makes this County tick and led to the formation of friendships and lifelong bonds with those who serve in government, the nonprofit community and in the business world in this County." -  Tom Lynch, Miles & Stockbridge
