Carlton Area Chamber of Commerce

The Carlton Area Chamber is unlike most other chambers. Our structure is less formal and what you will find is a close knit group of community and business leaders and employees working together to make the Carlton area a better place to work, live and raise a family. Most of our efforts go to organizing events that bring people into the area by providing a safe, entertaining environment for adults and kids alike. We have also been known to provide financial and volunteer support for member sponsored events.

Over the past years, the Chamber has sponsored community events including: Carlton Daze, Winterfest, Annual Community Banquet, Munger Town Trail Association, Breakfast with Santa, and the Four Seasons Complex. Our projects are often a joint effort with local businesses, the school, and residents. The Chamber also sponsors National Honor Society students, the school referendum, child abuse awareness, the Interfaith Care Center, and Community Memorial Hospital.

The Board of Directors meets at Noon the last Wednesday of each month at a member location.
