The Valpo Chamber is committed to the Business Community of Valparaiso. Our guiding principles include:
- Support an educational system that prepares students to meet market demands
- Promote quality of life that ensures the Valparaiso community will remain an attractive place to live, work, and do business
- Stimulate economic development by prioritizing business retention and growth in the region
- View the private sector as a partner in serving the needs of the public
- Ensure regulations on business are kept to a minimum and support policies that do not put area businesses at a competitive disadvantage
- Support tax policies that ensure regional competitiveness for all industries
- Promote infrastructure necessary to support commerce and business growth such as sound regionally based transportation policies
The Valpo Chamber is a partner with the Valparaiso Economic Development Corporation (VEDC) to strengthen our economic development impact.
The Public Policy Forum discusses government issues at the local, state, and federal levels. Community members have an opportunity to interact with state legislators as well as county and city officials on our Legislative Hotline sessions. They run January to March while the Indiana General Assembly is in session. Check out the event calendar for the Zoom links.
