Established as the East Boston Board of Trade prior to 1960, the East Boston Chamber of Commerce has been representing the East Boston community proudly for over 50 years. Local business leaders recognized the need to come together to stimulate economic development in East Boston. They believed that by creating an association whose mission was to help local business thrive, the entire community would profit as a whole and that success would have a trickle down effect to community organizations and families, improving overall quality of life in East Boston.
Today, the Chamber’s Board of Directors, a volunteer assembly of fifteen respected local business leaders, continues onward with the same goals in mind. The East Boston Chamber currently represents nearly 200 local businesses, the majority of which are located in East Boston, however, there are also a number of member businesses from surrounding towns.
