The Downingtown-Thorndale Regional Chamber of Commerce was established in 1945 to ensure continuing economic prosperity in the region. We strive to make our Program of Work relevant and useful to all our members. We pursue this through our many volunteer committees, board of directors and an executive director, all helping to make a difference in our economy and community through cooperation, legislation, advocacy and involvement.
As we move forward through this pandemic and devastating flood, together we will recover, rebuild, and be stronger in 2022 and beyond. The Downingtown-Thorndale Regional Chamber of Commerce will continue to enhance and adapt our programs and services to meet your changing needs. We will advocate on your behalf to secure the resources you need to navigate this uncertain landscape, and continue to engage with you so that, together, we can positively impact our community as a whole.
