Exton Region Chamber of Commerce Information

The Exton Region Chamber of Commerce was established in the late 1960's as the "Exton Businessmen's Association" and later incorporated as the “Exton Chamber of Commerce” in 1972. Their purpose was to lobby Harrisburg to construct the Route 30 Bypass. Harold Martin, a founding member and former Director Emeritus of the Chamber, and the late Senator Robert J. Thompson worked tirelessly to transform Exton from a country crossroads to a commercial center. The Exton Region Chamber of Commerce continues today to be led by visionary business people with a passion for making their community better today and into the future. For over 40 years, the Exton Region Chamber of Commerce has been focused upon meeting the diverse needs of its member businesses and has been fostering the economic growth, prosperity and exceptional quality of life of the Exton region. As a broad-based business organization serving the Exton region and the varied and growing communities of which it is comprised, the Chamber seeks to provide its member businesses and organizations with a wide array of value-added services, benefits and programs while at the same time working to enhance the business climate and quality of life in this special part of southeast Pennsylvania. The Chamber's philosophy is to be "volunteer led, staff facilitated." Because of this structure, and the incredible work ethic of our members, the Exton Region Chamber of Commerce is able to host more events, offer more services, and provide more member benefits than most chambers of a similar size.
