A Little Background!

The Chamber of Commerce idea is a concept found only where private initiative and free enterprise visit. The Chamber of Commerce is a voluntary institution in the United States eight years older than the Declaration of Independence. The New York State Chamber, first in America, was organized in 1768. The first local chamber of commerce was founded in Charleston, South Carolina in 1773.   In those 200 years, the chamber has grown from a single purpose Federation of Traders who organized to promote trade and cut costs by cooperation in certain operations -- to a broad business association which believes that when men and women in leadership positions work unselfishly on problems which they have in common, progress will result.
 
The Robins Regional Chamber of Commerce has its roots in the formation of the Warner Robins Chamber of Commerce in 1949.  In the early 1960's, the name was changed to "Greater Warner Robins Chamber of Commerce." And again in 1981 to the "Warner Robins/North Houston County Chamber of Commerce.   In 1990 the chamber name was changed once again to the "Warner Robins Area Chamber of Commerce."
