Orwell Grand Valley Page

Brief History

The chamber formed in the late 1940’s as business owners recognized the need to work together supporting localized businesses.  On December 19, 1950, the chamber officially incorporated as the Orwell Chamber of Commerce and registered with the state of Ohio.  On November 1, 1965, the name was changed to Grand Valley Chamber of Commerce.    June 15, 1990 was the most recent name change and we became the Orwell-Grand Valley Area Chamber of Commerce.  Even though our name has changed several times, the vision of the founding members never has.  We continue to support our local business growth through a variety of networking events and business programs.

Purpose

The chamber connects its member businesses to the community and other businesses through a variety of programs – networking events, seminars, monthly meetings, business shows and major events – all designed to grow business.
