Each community Chamber board is comprised of dozens of volunteers who work in the communities they represent. Each board elects its own officers and sends representatives to serve on the Regional Governing Board (scroll down). 
With assistance from the Portland Regional Chamber staff, these community chambers host events – like Business After Hours – advocate on the behalf of members, provide educational opportunities and provide community service to the towns and cities they represent. 

Serving the communities of Falmouth/Cumberland, Portland, Scarborough, South Portland/Cape Elizabeth, and Westbrook/Gorham, and through connecting young professionals with local businesses, it is our goal to help each member business build their bottom line through our network and resources. Please click on the links and logos above to learn more about each Community Chamber or PROPEL.

Please contact the Portland Regional Chamber directly to inquire about joining one of our boards.
