About Us
The Union Chamber of Commerce
The Union Chamber of Commerce began in 1909 as the Union Commercial Club. It was formed primarily for the purpose of unifying the Union business community and encouraging residents of Union to do their shopping locally. The Chamber was formally incorporated on April 19, 1979. Many early promotions were in cooperation with the Union Merchants’ Association, which has since dissolved.
In recent years, the Chamber has also fulfilled the need for a local, viable organization to contact for information regarding the Union community. The Union Chamber of Commerce serves as a visitor & relocation bureau and “answer center” when patrons are not sure where else to turn.
The Chamber takes pride in its rapidly growing list of members drawn from local retail, commercial and industrial businesses, as well as professionals and other citizens in Union and surrounding areas interested in the concepts of business development, community improvement, and cultural and environmental enhancement. The Union Chamber currently serves over 300 members!
Contract Manager for Union License Office
In May of 1973, the Missouri Department of Revenue appointed the Union Chamber of Commerce as a Fee Agent for the Union License Fee office. The Chamber Board of Directors voted in late 1982 that the Chamber take full financial responsibility for the Union License Fee office beginning on January 1, 1983. The Chamber has managed the License office since that date and License Office revenues support much of the Chamber’s operating budget.
