History

The Lakewood Chamber of Commerce has existed since 1911 to serve the Lakewood business community. That's over 95 years of service! Over the years the Chamber has evolved to become a bigger and better resource for the business community. We offer monthly meetings with topics of interest, networking opportunities through Business After Hours, Task Forces, Special Events, and Business Roundtables.

More than 375 businesses and organizations belong to the Lakewood Chamber of Commerce. The organization is governed by an Executive Committee and a voting Board of Directors, and is funded by membership dues and special events. The day to day operation is handled by Kathy Berkshire, the CEO and President and Patty Ryan, the Vice President.
